NRAAM 2023: Remington Core-Lokt Copper

Hunters demand quality, reliable ammunition in the field, and one of the specifics of that demand is the need for the jacket of the bullet not to separate (in flight or on impact). Remington Core-Lokt has long been the answer for countless hunters and is a stellar, field-proven family of ammunition. Now the ammo maker is expanding that line with Remington Core-Lokt Copper, a fantastic newcomer to the line of ammo they call The Deadliest Mushroom in the Woods.

Remington’s Core-Lokt Copper is, as you might presume, a round featuring an all-copper bullet. It’s described by the ammo manufacturer as delivering reliable expansion, weight retention close to 100%, and fantastic accuracy. Core-Lokt Copper is made to give hunters and shooters the consistent, precise performance they’ve come to expect from Core-Lokt, only with a lead-free bullet. Bullets are carefully constructed to be rigid and are made using high-strength pure copper so they can and will drop big game. Remington states this all-copper Core-Lokt absolutely does live up to the legacy of the Deadliest Mushroom family of ammunition.
