Remington Rifle Ammunition .30-06 Springfield 125-grain Pointed Soft Point ammunition (part no. 21401) loads one of the lightest common bullet weights in the caliber for hunters who want flat trajectory and reduced recoil. Remington tops this 125-grain bullet with an exposed lead point that initiates rapid expansion on impact, trading some penetration for a noticeably flatter, faster-stepping round than the .30-06’s traditional 150 to 180-grain loads. Brass cases deliver the reliable extraction and reloadability Remington ammunition is known for. In rifle ammunition for deer-sized game and varmint-to-deer versatility, this is a lighter, faster option in a proven caliber.
