Description
The Remington Core-Lokt .30-40 Krag 180gr Pointed Soft Point load is a 20-round box of centerfire rifle ammunition built for big-game hunting (Remington part no. 28345). 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 .30-40 Krag chambering pushes the 180-grain bullet to 2430 fps at the muzzle, with 2360 ft-lb of energy, based on the ballistics Remington publishes for this item. Remington lists its usage as big game, so it suits hunters who match a .30-40 Krag rifle to that kind of shot. Check the cartridge stamped on your barrel against .30-40 Krag before you order.
