6.5 Creedmoor – 140 gr PSP – Remington (27657 / R65CR1) – 200 Rounds

Hunters who switched to the 6.5 Creedmoor for its mild recoil still want an affordable, proven deer bullet, and Remington Core-Lokt fills that role. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain pointed soft point ammo, MPN 27657, sold as a 200 round case for deer hunters and anyone outfitting several rifles.

Remington rates this load at 2,700 fps with 2,266 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 140 grain weight is the most common hunting choice in 6.5 Creedmoor, with a long, high sectional density bullet that penetrates well. Core-Lokt construction locks a progressively tapered jacket to the lead core for controlled expansion and good weight retention. The pointed soft point gives a flat trajectory for field shots. It is a hunting load for whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn, and hogs.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, including the Remington 700 and 783, Ruger American, Savage Axis and 110, Tikka T3x, Mossberg Patriot, Winchester XPR, Bergara B-14, and AR-10 style rifles. A common question is whether the 6.5 Creedmoor is a good first deer rifle for a youth or smaller shooter. It is a popular choice because recoil is mild while performance on deer is excellent. Another common question is whether Core-Lokt is accurate enough for long shots. Most rifles group it well for typical hunting distances, but test at the ranges you plan to shoot.

Remington 27657 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive priming. This case ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds from one lot. That is plenty to zero, practice, and hunt with the same ammunition for several seasons. If several family members hunt with 6.5 Creedmoor rifles, one case keeps everyone on the same load, which simplifies zeroing and makes it easy to share ammo in camp.
