Pointed Soft-Point (PSP)

Hunting

Pointed Soft-Point (PSP) bullets feature a more streamlined, spitzer-style profile compared to traditional round-nose soft points. This aerodynamic shape provides a higher ballistic coefficient, flatter trajectory, and better wind resistance. The pointed profile still includes an exposed lead tip for reliable expansion on game. PSP designs are particularly popular in Remington ammunition (Core-Lokt PSP) and offer an excellent balance of long-range ballistics with proven terminal performance.

FAQ

PSP vs round nose SP?

PSP shoots flatter and bucks wind better due to higher BC. Choose round nose for brush hunting or lever actions with tubular magazines. PSP is better for open country and longer shots.

Is Remington Core-Lokt PSP good for deer?

Excellent. Core-Lokt PSP has taken more deer than possibly any other bullet design. The mechanical lock between core and jacket provides reliable expansion and adequate penetration at an affordable price.
