Best Uses

Use this box to zero and practice without the sore shoulder that heavier loads can bring. The 125-grain soft point shoots flat, which helps when you judge range on open ground. It is a good match for pronghorn, smaller whitetail and predators. For elk or big bodied game, move up to a heavier bullet. New hunters often build good habits faster with a softer shooting load, and Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 125 grain lets them learn on a full-power rifle. Check your zero if you switch from a heavier load, since the point of impact can shift.
