The 7mm-08 Remington has earned a loyal following among deer hunters because it shoots flat with mild recoil, and a reliable, affordable hunting load makes the most of it. This listing is Hornady American Whitetail 7mm-08 Rem 139 grain InterLock Spire Point ammunition, MPN 8057, sold as a 200 round case. Buying by the case lets you sight in, practice from field positions, and hunt several seasons with the same load so your zero never changes.
The 139 grain InterLock spire point is built for deer. The InterLock ring locks the jacket to the lead core, which helps the bullet hold together and retain weight as it expands, so it penetrates to the vitals instead of breaking apart on shoulder bone. Hornady rates this load at 2,840 fps with 2,489 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, and lists a ballistic coefficient of .392 and a sectional density of .246. Those numbers give a flat trajectory and plenty of energy for whitetail at typical hunting distances.
This ammunition fits any rifle chambered in 7mm-08 Remington, including the Remington 700 and Model Seven, Tikka T3x, Savage 110, Browning X-Bolt, Ruger American, and Winchester XPR. It is a strong choice for whitetail and mule deer, and it also works well on hogs. A common question is whether the 7mm-08 is enough for deer at longer range, and a 139 grain InterLock soft point at this velocity handles typical deer country shots with ease. The 200 round case covers a hunting camp or several seasons of shooting.
Hornady American Whitetail 8057 is made in the USA and is new production ammunition, not reloads. Each cartridge uses a new brass case with a boxer primer, and the load is non-corrosive, so normal cleaning is all your rifle needs. The boxer-primed brass is reloadable, which makes the fired cases worth saving for handloaders. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 7mm-08 Remington.
