Most 30-30 hunters know the Core-Lokt soft point, but Remington also offers a hollow point version with the same weight and velocity. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 30-30 Winchester 170 grain hollow point ammo, MPN 21395, sold as a 200 round case. It is meant for lever action deer hunters who prefer a hollow point nose that starts expansion quickly at brush country distances. A hollow point is also a good fit for hunters whose rifles group better with this nose shape.
Remington rates 21395 at 2,200 fps with 1,827 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Core-Lokt construction locks the jacket to the core so the bullet expands while holding together for penetration, and the hollow point cavity helps initiate that expansion. The rounded, flat-profile nose is safe in tubular magazines. It is a hunting load for whitetail and hogs, with most shots best kept inside about 150 yards.
It fits rifles chambered in 30-30 Winchester, such as the Marlin 336 and 336 Dark, Winchester 94, Henry Side Gate and Steel, Mossberg 464, Rossi R95, and single shot rifles like the H and R Handi-Rifle. A common question is whether a hollow point or soft point is better in the 30-30. Both are effective on deer at normal ranges, and the right choice often comes down to which load your rifle shoots most accurately. Another common question is whether hollow points are legal for deer. Yes, expanding bullets are legal in most states, and many states require them for big game.
Remington 21395 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds, 200 total, from one lot, so you can zero and practice with the same ammunition you will carry into the woods. Store the boxes cool and dry and the case will cover several seasons.
