Remington .270 Core Lokt 130 grain at Midway

If you happen to shoot this ammo, you might be interested in picking some up. It's not the best price, but there's not been a lot of .270 ammo around lately.

Thank you! Just ordered a box

I have heard bad things about 130gr 270. I shoot 140gr Hornady SST, But can't find it. I can get 130gr in Federal. Any info on 130gr?

I use 130 or 150 depending on availability. I think the three boxes I have right now are 130, though different mfgs. I never had an issue with the 130's, usually either DRT or short run within sight.

I've heard both good and bad stories about the core-lokt bullet, but they have been around for such a long time and seem to be one of the more popular whitetail rounds so there is bound to be plenty of both good and bad reviews. A lot of their popularity no doubt comes from brand recognition and their relatively low price point. Sorry, I don't have any helpful info on the federal 130gr.

I started shooting the 130gr. core-lokt from my 700 when I was a kid, and it always got the job done. When I was a bit older and got a job, I experimented with some more expensive factory loads thinking I shouldn't be shooting the cheap ammo. Then I came to the realization that I had never had a bad experience with the core-lokt and that they shoot just fine out to any reasonable hunting distance that I would encounter in TN. Maybe I'm just lucky that my 700 likes them.

Ditto! Same experience here and I have been shooting my .270 for better part of 30 years. The 130gr core-lokts will flat kill'em if shot placement is where it should be.

Best mushroom in the woods.

I shot core-lokts years ago out of my 7mm mag until I started handloading. I have piled up a lot deer with them. Never had a problem with them.

I picked up two boxes of 30-06 150 grain Remington Core Lokt at Academy (Franklin TN) today morning. Went looking for 9mm and ended up with 30-06. Now I have enough to sight in before the season.

If anyone likes Core Lokt, check out Hornady American Whitetail. They are loaded with Hornady Interlocks which are Hornady's answer to the Core Lokt. I've had great luck with Hornady Interlocks.
