The Remington Core-Lokt Tipped .270 Winchester 130-grain Polymer Tip Brass 20-round box is a high-performance centerfire cartridge engineered for classic medium-to-large game hunting, trophy whitetail management, western mule deer pursuit, and open-country big game applications. Traditional soft-point offerings in .270 Winchester often suffer from lead tip deformation in rifle magazines or during handling, leading to lower ballistic efficiency, degraded downrange velocity, and increased vertical dispersion. Remington resolves these aerodynamic and terminal limitations by pairing a high-efficiency green polymer tip with its legendary mechanical Core-Lokt jacket-to-core lock, delivering flatter flight paths, reduced wind drift, and lethal terminal expansion.
The primary technical advantage centers on the 130-grain Core-Lokt Tipped projectile design. Featuring a signature green polymer tip seated atop an optimized lead core, the bullet achieves an improved 0.447 G1 ballistic coefficient to preserve velocity and energy at extended ranges. Upon impact, the polymer tip acts as an internal wedge, forcing open the heavy copper jacket to initiate rapid, uniform expansion across a broad velocity spectrum. The progressive copper jacket is mechanically locked to the solid lead core via the proven Core-Lokt jacket interface, eliminating core-jacket separation under high-impact stress and preserving high retained mass for deep, bone-breaking penetration.
Launching its 130-grain polymer-tipped bullet at a factory-rated 3,080 FPS muzzle velocity (generating 2,741 ft-lbs of muzzle energy), this Core-Lokt Tipped load takes full advantage of the .270 Winchester's flat-shooting profile to simplify holdovers at extended field distances. Assembled using precision-drawn reloadable virgin brass cases, clean-burning propellants, and non-corrosive Boxer primers, the cartridge guarantees uniform chamber pressure curves, reliable ignition, and smooth cycling in bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles. It serves as an updated benchmark choice for deer and big game hunters.
Key Benefits
- Green Polymer Tip: Prevents magazine tip deformation and drives an elevated 0.447 G1 BC for reduced drag and flatter downrange flight.
- Core-Lokt Mechanical Lock: Mechanically anchors the lead core to the copper jacket to prevent separation and preserve bullet mass during penetration.
- 3,080 FPS Muzzle Output: Delivers high kinetic energy transfer and a flat trajectory to minimize elevation holdovers on medium game.
- Reloadable Virgin Brass: High-grade brass casings ensure consistent headspacing, smooth feeding, and dependable extraction.
