Remington Core-Lokt .30-30 Winchester 150 Grain Soft Point Ammunition (MPN: 27818)
Product Description
For over eight decades, lever-action rifle hunters targeting whitetail deer, wild boar, and black bear with .30-30 Winchester carbines have counted on Remington Core-Lokt to deliver "The Deadliest Mushroom in the Woods." Hunters pursuing medium game through heavy timber, thick brush, and rolling hardwood ridges require a bullet that balances high velocity and flat trajectories with reliable, controlled terminal expansion. Basic unbonded soft points can fragment prematurely when impacting shoulder bone or dense tissue, resulting in shallow penetration and difficult tracking jobs. Remington solves these field performance requirements with their Core-Lokt .30-30 Winchester 150-grain Soft Point (SP) load, engineered specifically to deliver rapid expansion, high weight retention, and smooth mechanical feeding in traditional lever rifles.
Proudly manufactured in Lonoke, Arkansas, this iconic centerfire hunting cartridge features Remington's time-tested 150-grain Core-Lokt Soft Point projectile. The bullet construction features a progressively tapered copper alloy jacket mechanically locked to a solid lead core. Upon target impact, the exposed soft lead tip initiates immediate mechanical expansion, while the heavy jacket wall regulates mushrooming up to double the original bullet diameter without core-jacket separation. The flat soft-point bullet nose profile guarantees 100% safe inline contact against primers inside tubular magazines under heavy recoil while feeding effortlessly across side-loading gates.
In the woods and across open fields, this 150-grain load offers a flatter trajectory profile and higher muzzle velocity compared to heavier 170-grain offerings, making it ideal for shots out to 150 yards and beyond. Leaving the muzzle at a brisk 2,390 FPS with 1,902 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, it yields excellent point-of-impact consistency out of standard 18-to-20-inch carbine barrels. Premium virgin brass cases, clean-burning propellants, and responsive non-corrosive Boxer primers ensure smooth mechanical feeding through side-loading gates and clean cycling across Marlin, Winchester, and Henry lever rifles. Packaged in a traditional 20-round green and yellow box, Remington Core-Lokt .30-30 Win 150-grain SP remains a trusted industry standard for North American big game hunting.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance: Centerfire rifle ammunition procurement regulations strictly apply. All purchasers must be 21 years of age or older and assume full legal responsibility for adhering to local, state, and federal laws. Due to commercial carrier transit restrictions, ammunition cannot be delivered to Alaska, Hawaii, or US territories. Deliveries destined for California and New York must ship directly to an authorized FFL dealer or registered ammunition vendor. Residents of Illinois must supply a valid FOID card alongside a matching state ID prior to order processing, and localized regional bans prohibit delivery to specific jurisdictions inside Illinois (including Chicago), Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Washington D.C. Armorer Tip: The 150-grain flat soft nose bullet profile is engineered to be 100% safe inside tubular magazines. The lighter 150gr payload provides flatter downrange trajectories and slightly higher velocity out to 150 yards compared to heavier 170-grain loads.
