30-06 Sprg – 220 gr SP – Remington (R30067 / R27830) – 200 Rounds

When a 30-06 hunter is heading after elk, moose, or big bears, a heavy bullet is the traditional answer. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 Springfield 220 grain soft point ammo, MPN R30067 (Remington item 27830), sold as a 200 round case, the heaviest Core-Lokt bullet offered in the cartridge. It is also a smart buy for anyone headed to Alaska or Canada who wants to practice with the exact load they will carry.

Remington rates this load at 2,410 fps with 2,837 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 220 grain round nose soft point trades some trajectory for mass and penetration, which is why it has long been chosen for large, tough game at moderate ranges. The Core-Lokt jacket is tapered and locked to the lead core to control expansion and limit bullet breakup. This is a big game hunting load, not a target or long range round.

It fits rifles chambered in 30-06 Springfield, including the Remington 700 and 7400, Winchester Model 70, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110, Browning A-Bolt, X-Bolt, and BAR, Tikka T3x, and Weatherby Vanguard. A common question is whether this load is safe in an M1 Garand. Heavy 220 grain hunting loads can create port pressures above what the Garand was designed for, so use Garand-specific ammunition in that rifle. Another common question is whether 220 grain is overkill for deer. It works, but most deer hunters prefer 150 to 180 grain bullets for a flatter trajectory.

Remington R30067 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. The case holds 10 boxes of 20 rounds, 200 total, all from one lot, which lets you confirm zero and practice with the heavy load you will actually carry on a hunt. Expect noticeably more recoil than lighter 30-06 loads. Shoot several groups from field positions so you know where the heavy bullet lands at 100 and 200 yards.
