Thread: Remington Core-Lokt back in supply

For some time I have been told that this ammo is no longer being produced or available?

Got an email from NIOA (au site) but the new Core lokt ammo range..

Vista Outdoors brought Remington ammunition ,it is an "Investment " company . They own a lot of Sporting brands including Federal

P.S the ammo side of rem

The Core-Lokt ammo became popular back in the day, because the bullets held together better than the usual cup-n-core bullets of the day. Winchester tried to counter with their Silvertip ammo, but is was just hype. The Silvertip was almost explosive and had very poor penetration; it just looked sexy.

I'm 73 and have been reloading since I was 13. We used mostly Sierra bullets back then, very accurate cup-n-cores, and they worked well enough. I did use Remington bullets when I could find them for elk ammo and mule deer ammo. The old Core-Lokts never let me down. I put them on par with Speer Hot Cores. Neither were the most accurate bullets, both killed well, and both would shoot a minute of antelope all day, every day.

I've now gravitated to Nosler AccuBonds and to Particians if going after elk, on up.

Some left over from "back in the day"

Funny you asked...

I had one in 20ga 3" and 270Win with a 1.5-6 Zeiss about ten years ago, a Greifelt. It had been a 16ga gun someone made modern barrels for, and whoever did it was a master. I liked it, but $omeone wanted it A Lot more, $o I $old it.

I miss the gun and haven't found one since.

Certainly available over here.

Ive got about 2 of the same age .308 projectiles left...with the same star shaped exposed lead....awesome rounds...but I liked the silvertips too both in 30/30 and 270...... the oldschool aluminium covered ones not the modern black coloured ballistic tip ones.....

Always liked the terminal performance of the CL.
