The Remington .280 Remington 140gr Core-Lokt Tipped, a 20-round box (Remington part no. 29020), pairs a polymer-tipped bullet with the Core-Lokt jacket and lead core in a deer and big game load. Remington fits its Big Green polymer tip to improve ballistic coefficient, in-flight accuracy and downrange performance, while the jacket-and-core construction underneath delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration. The bullet is rated at 3020 fps at the muzzle with a .486 ballistic coefficient, numbers that keep energy on target well past a hundred yards. It is a practical choice for .280 Remington owners who hunt from a stand or glass long fields and want one load for both.

Key Specifications

• Bullet weight is 140 grains, a mid-weight .280 bullet that Remington sells for big game.
• Bullet style is Core-Lokt Tipped, a polymer-tipped version of the Core-Lokt jacket and lead core.
