Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 165 Grain Soft Point – 20 Rounds

Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 165 grain ammo sits in the middle of the Core-Lokt weight range. It uses a jacketed soft point listed at 2,800 fps and 2,872 ft-lb, with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.339. The brass cases take Boxer primers and are reloadable, and the priming is non-corrosive.

The middle weight works on whitetail, mule deer and wild hogs, and it has enough mass for black bear at sensible range. Many hunters find a 165 shoots close to their 150 or 180 zero, but always check on paper before you rely on it.
