HRNDY AWT 7MM MAG 154GR SST 20/200

Description

Hornady’s American Whitetail Tipped line is built around one specific purpose: putting deer on the ground reliably, without asking the hunter to spend match-rifle money on ammunition. This 7mm Remington Magnum load pairs a 154-grain SST bullet with the consistent primers and quality brass that define what the American Whitetail series is designed to deliver.

The SST — Super Shock Tip — uses a polymer tip seated in the bullet’s nose cavity. On impact, that tip drives inward and initiates expansion faster than a conventional soft-point can manage at the same velocity, which matters when a deer is quartering away or the shot angle isn’t perfect. The tip also improves the bullet’s ballistic coefficient, helping the 7mm Remington Magnum’s already flat trajectory stay predictable at the distances this cartridge was designed for. Hornady lists a G1 ballistic coefficient of .525 and a sectional density of .273 — figures that translate to less wind drift and deeper penetration on medium and large game than lighter or less aerodynamic options in this bore diameter.

American Whitetail Tipped is positioned between Hornady’s standard American Whitetail line, which uses a traditional InterLock soft point, and premium tiers like Precision Hunter. It gives hunters the terminal performance of a tipped bullet at a price point that doesn’t make range sessions painful. Boxes of 20 rounds make it practical to confirm zero before the season and still have a full hunting complement on hand.
