Description
Hornady’s American Whitetail line is built around a straightforward premise: deliver hunting-grade terminal performance at a price that makes range practice practical. This 7mm Remington Magnum load is a natural fit for hunters who work open country where shots can stretch past 200 yards on mule deer, elk, or pronghorn, and who want a load that performs without requiring handloading to get there.
The bullet at the center of this load is the InterLock Spire Point Boat Tail. The InterLock system uses a raised ring inside the jacket that mechanically interlocks with the lead core, resisting core-jacket separation under the violent deceleration of terminal impact. That retained mass matters on larger-bodied game where a fragmenting bullet may not reach vitals. The spire point profile keeps the ballistic coefficient competitive for a cup-and-core design, which translates to a flatter trajectory and less wind drift at distance compared to a flat- or round-nose bullet of the same weight. The boat tail base reduces aerodynamic drag at the rear of the bullet, helping preserve velocity at longer ranges where that energy is needed most.
Muzzle velocity is listed at 3,150 fps, producing 3,062 ft-lbs of muzzle energy — enough on paper to engage elk-sized game ethically at appropriate distances. Brass casings support reliable feeding and extraction in bolt guns and provide a reloadable case for those who work up handloads after burning through factory ammunition. This is a 20-round box, with cases of 200 available for hunters who want to confirm zero and still have a full box ready for the field.
