Description
7mm Remington Magnum 162 Grain Hornady SST~Ā TheĀ 7mm Remington MagnumĀ rifle cartridge was introduced as a commercially available round in 1962,Ā along with the newĀ Remington Model 700Ā bolt-action rifle. On its introduction, the 7mm Remington Magnum substantially usurped the market share held by theĀ .264 Winchester Magnum, which went into sharp decline in popularity and sales after 1962.Ā It is a member of theĀ belted magnumĀ family that is directly derived from the venerableĀ .375 H&H Magnum.Ā The original purpose of the belted magnum concept taken from theĀ .300 H&H MagnumĀ was to provide preciseĀ headspaceĀ control, since the sloping shoulders, while easing cartridge extraction, were unsuitable for this purpose. Improved cartridge extraction reliability is desirable while hunting dangerous game, which would be of concern when needing a fast follow up shot. The 7mm Remington Magnum is based on the commercial Winchester .264 Winchester Magnum, .338 Winchester Magnum, and .458 Winchester Magnum, which were based on the same belted .300 H&H Magnum and .375 H&H Magnum cases, trimmed to nearly the same length as theĀ .270 Weatherby Magnum

The Bullet
Super Shock Tip Bullets combine proven Hornady performance with a higher ballistic coefficient than available with most hunting bullets. The sharp, pointed polymer tip creates a faster, flatter shooting bullet. With its one-piece core and jacket strengthened in critical areas, the SST delivers much more controlled expansion and superior weight retention than other tipped bullets. Featuring Hornadyās trade mark Interlock ring system, this bulletās core and jacket remain locked solid during expansion, creating massive wound channels.
