Remington Core-Lokt .308 Win 180gr PSP (Pointed Soft Point) ammunition comes 20 rounds to the box and is aimed at big-game and long-range work (Remington part no. 21479). Core-Lokt has been Remington’s controlled-expansion hunting bullet since 1939, locking the jacket and lead core together so the bullet holds its weight and drives through tough game. The .308 Winchester chambering pushes the 180-grain bullet to 2620 fps at the muzzle, with 2743 ft-lb of energy, based on the ballistics Remington publishes for this item. Remington lists its usage as big game and long range, so it suits hunters who match a .308 Winchester rifle to that kind of shot. Check the cartridge stamped on your barrel against .308 Winchester before you order.
