30-06 Sprg – 125 gr PSP – Remington (21401-R30061) – 200 Rounds

Not every 30-06 hunter needs a heavy elk bullet, and the light 125 grain Core-Lokt turns the old Springfield into a fast, flat shooting deer and varmint rifle. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 Springfield 125 grain pointed soft point ammo, MPN 21401 (legacy code R30061), sold as a 200 round case. It suits deer hunters, younger or recoil sensitive shooters, and anyone who wants a lighter 30-06 load for practice from field positions.

Remington rates this load at 3,140 fps with 2,736 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 125 grain bullet leaves the muzzle faster than the common 150 and 165 grain loads, so it drops less over typical hunting distances and kicks noticeably less. The Core-Lokt jacket is locked to the lead core for controlled expansion. The lighter bullet is best on deer, pronghorn, coyotes, and hogs, while heavier bullets are a better pick for elk and moose. This is expanding hunting ammunition.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 30-06 Springfield, including the Remington 700 and 7400, Winchester Model 70, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110 and Axis, Browning X-Bolt and BAR, Tikka T3x, Mossberg Patriot, and Springfield M1903 rifles. A common question is whether this commercial load is safe in an M1 Garand. A Garand is designed around 150 grain ball ammunition and its gas system can be harmed by some commercial loads, so most owners use Garand specific ammo or an adjustable gas plug. Another common question is whether 30-06 and 308 Win are interchangeable. They are not, as the 30-06 case is longer.

Remington 21401 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive components. The case holds 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot. A full case is a practical way to stock a rifle that several family members share, all on the same zero.
