30-06 Sprg – 180 gr SP – Remington (21407-R30064) – 200 Rounds

Elk, moose, and big black bears call for a heavier bullet than most whitetail loads, and the 180 grain Core-Lokt is the long-time heavy option for the 30-06. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 Springfield 180 grain soft point ammo, MPN 21407 (Remington R30064), sold as 200 rounds.

The Core-Lokt design locks a progressively tapered jacket to the lead core, which slows expansion enough for the bullet to drive deep into heavy muscle and bone. The 180 grain weight carries plenty of momentum for elk, black bear, and moose, and it is also a dependable choice for large-bodied deer in thick timber. Expect more recoil and a little more drop than a 150 grain load. It is a hunting round built for clean, ethical harvests rather than target practice.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 30-06 Springfield, including the Remington 700 and 7400, the Winchester Model 70, the Ruger Hawkeye and American, the Savage 110 and Axis, the Browning A-Bolt, BAR, and X-Bolt, the Tikka T3x, and the Weatherby Vanguard. A common question is whether 180 grain or 150 grain is better in a 30-06. The 150 grain shoots flatter for deer, while the 180 grain bullet penetrates deeper for elk and bigger game. Another common question is whether commercial 30-06 hunting loads are safe in an M1 Garand. Many heavier commercial loads exceed the port pressure the Garand was built for, so Garand owners should use ammunition made for it.

Remington 21407 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. The cases are brass and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 200 rounds of 30-06 180 grain Core-Lokt soft point. That supply covers sight-in, practice, and several elk or deer seasons from one lot, which keeps your rifle’s zero consistent from year to year. Check your zero at the distance you expect to shoot before each hunt.
