What makes Core-Lokt a popular hunting choice?
The Remington Core-Lokt 6mm Rem 100 gr. PSP ammunition is a classic for a reason. This round features a heavy lead core mechanically locked to a copper jacket, which is designed to prevent core-jacket separation on impact. This construction helps ensure deep penetration and controlled expansion, delivering a wide wound channel. For hunters using a 6mm Remington rifle, this 100-grain bullet weight offers a good balance of velocity and energy for common game animals in Kansas, like whitetail deer. It’s a straightforward, reliable hunting round that has been putting meat in the freezer for decades.
