Remington's Core-lokt ammo

[Dougfir]

Corelokt ammo isn't flashy, but it's worked for me for a long time. There are better choices out there, but I still use it in my .308W because that's what the rifle just likes. Most folks could just load Corelokts and roll with them and never be any the worse for wear.

That said- I've rarely found any of the Corelokts loaded to the cartridge's potential- as much as 250fps below what the box says. Might be better now, the last time I chronoed any was years ago, but .30-06 180gr recorded 2450-2500 fps.

I still use the roundnose 180's in my .30-06 brush gun. I have also found that velocities are slower than expected. About 2500 from a 22" barrel.
