Best Uses

Twenty rounds lets you zero, check your drop at 200 and 300 yards, and hunt with the rest. The polymer tip starts expansion and cuts drag, so this load keeps more speed downrange than a flat-nose soft point. That helps in bean fields, clear-cuts and prairie. The 165-grain weight has enough mass for mule deer, big whitetail and hogs. If you like the Core-Lokt name but want a flatter trajectory, Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 30-06 165 grain is the step up. Confirm your zero if you switch from plain Core-Lokt.
