The Remington Core-Lokt .270 Winchester Short Magnum 130-grain Pointed Soft Point (PSP) Brass 20-round box is a high-velocity centerfire rifle cartridge engineered specifically for medium to large game hunting where flat trajectories, controlled expansion, and deep penetration are required at extended ranges. A primary friction point when shooting high-velocity short-magnum loads is jacket-core separation upon target contact, which drastically reduces retained bullet weight and limits penetration through heavy shoulder bone. Remington resolves this terminal issue by mechanically locking the lead core inside a progressively tapered copper jacket, ensuring structural integrity during high-energy impacts.
The core technical advantage relies on controlled expansion dynamics under extreme velocity. The Pointed Soft Point (PSP) nose profile initiates rapid deformation upon initial contact, while the mechanically locked jacket regulates the expansion rate to approximately double the bullet's original diameter without fragmenting into pieces. This progressive deformation preserves sectional density and forward momentum, allowing the projectile to penetrate linearly through dense hide and tissue while dumping maximum kinetic energy downrange beyond 300 yards.
Launching its 130-grain Core-Lokt PSP projectile at a blistering muzzle velocity of 3,285 FPS, this .270 WSM load combines short-action cycling speed with a 0.336 G1 ballistic coefficient to flatten flight paths and resist crosswind deflection. Assembled in precision-drawn, reloadable virgin brass cases fitted with reliable Boxer primers, it delivers consistent chamber pressure curves and dependable ignition. It is a proven choice for whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorn, and elk-sized game across open terrain.
Key Benefits
- Original Core-Lokt Mechanical Lock: Mechanically locks the lead core inside the tapered copper jacket to prevent separation and retain high mass.
