300 Win Mag – 180 gr PSP – Remington Core-Lokt (29497 – R300W2) – 200 Rounds

The 180 grain bullet is the classic elk and moose weight for the 300 Winchester Magnum, and Core-Lokt is one of the best-known hunting bullets in America. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 300 Win Mag 180 grain pointed soft point ammo, MPN R300W2 (Remington item 29497), sold as a 200 round case. It suits big game hunters headed for western elk camps, moose country, or long shots across open ground. It is also a sensible choice for hunters who want a widely available, proven load for a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Remington rates this load at 2,960 fps with 3,502 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Core-Lokt jacket is progressively tapered and locked to the lead core to control expansion and help the bullet stay together for penetration through heavy muscle and bone. The pointed soft point profile shoots flatter than round nose designs. This is a big game hunting load with stout magnum recoil, so practice enough to stay comfortable behind the rifle.

It fits rifles chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum, including the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, Ruger Hawkeye and American Magnum, Savage 110 and 116, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt and BAR, Weatherby Vanguard, and Bergara B-14. A common question is whether 180 grain is the best all-around weight for the 300 Win Mag. Many hunters think so, because it balances trajectory and penetration for elk and similar game. Another common question is whether a muzzle brake is needed. It is not required, but brakes or recoil pads help many shooters handle magnum recoil.

Remington R300W2 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, practice at distance, and hunt with identical ammunition for several seasons. Store the case cool and dry between hunting seasons.
