Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 7mm Backcountry 175gr Rifle Ammunition, 20-Round Box

Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 7mm Backcountry ammunition (brand part no. 28989) brings a modern polymer-tip upgrade to Remington’s legendary Core-Lokt hunting bullet, built for big game hunters chasing flatter trajectories and more downrange energy. Remington loads this 175 grain jacketed soft point to 3125 fps in the new 7mm Backcountry chambering, engineered for long-range performance from a short-action rifle. The big green polymer tip improves in-flight accuracy and initiates rapid, controlled expansion on impact, while the proven Core-Lokt jacket is tuned specifically for reliable performance on big game. With the bullet’s center of gravity shifted rearward for match-grade accuracy, this is a serious choice for hunters who want both precision and knockdown power in one load.
