308 Win – 180 gr SP – Remington Core-Lokt (27844 / R308W2) – 200 Rounds

Remington’s Core-Lokt has been a staple of American deer camps for generations, and the 180 grain 308 load is the heavy option for big game and thick cover. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 308 Winchester 180 grain soft point ammo, MPN 27844, sold as a 200 round case.

Remington rates this load at 2,620 fps with 2,743 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Core-Lokt jacket is tapered and mechanically locked to the lead core, which controls expansion and helps the bullet hold together for deep penetration through heavy shoulder bones. The 180 grain weight is well suited to elk, black bear, large hogs, and big-bodied deer, especially in timber where shots come quickly and up close. This is a hunting load built for reliable, ethical results.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 308 Winchester, including the Remington 700, 7600, and Model Seven, the Winchester Model 70, the Ruger American and Hawkeye, the Savage 110 and Axis, the Browning BLR and BAR, the Tikka T3x, the Henry Long Ranger, and AR-10 rifles. A common question is whether a 180 grain 308 load is enough for elk. With good shot placement at moderate ranges, it has a long record on elk. Another common question is whether 308 Win can be fired in a 7.62x51mm NATO rifle. Most rifles marked 7.62 NATO accept 308 Winchester, but check the manufacturer’s guidance for surplus military rifles.

Remington 27844 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. The cases are brass and the load is non-corrosive. This case contains 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 308 Win 180 grain Core-Lokt. That supply covers sighting in and several seasons of hunting from one lot, so your rifle shoots to the same point every fall. Store the boxes in a cool, dry place between seasons.
