The Core-Lokt design secures a progressively tapered copper jacket to a solid lead core so the 150-grain soft point opens in a controlled way and holds its weight in game. Remington loads it here in .308 Winchester, in brass cases, at standard pressure, and packs twenty rounds to the box. It is a hunting cartridge first, though the same box serves for zeroing and sits well in storage until the season.

Pick up a box or two before North Carolina's deer season and use the first few rounds to confirm zero at the distance you expect to shoot, then carry the rest into the stand. Because it is loaded to standard pressure, it runs in .308 Winchester rifles built for the cartridge, and the brass is reloadable afterward. Keep ammunition dry and cool between hunts and it will be ready the following fall.
