The Remington Core-Lokt .300 Weatherby Magnum load (Remington part no. 29279) drives a 180-grain pointed soft point Core-Lokt bullet at 3120 fps for big-game hunting at distance. Core-Lokt has been Remington’s hunting bullet since 1939, locking the jacket and lead core together so the bullet expands in a controlled way, penetrates deeply and keeps its weight. The tapered jacket expands reliably across a wide range of velocities. Remington lists the usage as big game and long range, and each box holds 20 rounds.
