7mm PRC – 154 Gr SST – Hornady American Whitetail Tipped (80714) – 200 Rounds

Hornady introduced the 7mm PRC as a modern long-action magnum built around long, high-BC bullets, and American Whitetail Tipped is one of the more affordable ways to hunt with it. This listing is Hornady American Whitetail Tipped 7mm PRC 154 grain polymer-tipped ammo, MPN 80714, sold as 200 rounds.

Hornady rates this load at 3,030 fps with 3,139 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 154 grain SST bullet uses a polymer tip to improve ballistic coefficient and start rapid expansion, while the lead core and jacket are designed to hold together on deer-sized animals. That gives deer and pronghorn hunters a flat trajectory for long shots across open country, and the 154 grain weight is also used on elk with careful shot placement.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7mm PRC, including the Browning X-Bolt, Bergara B-14 and Premier, Christensen Arms Mesa and Ridgeline, Savage 110, and Seekins Havak rifles in 7mm PRC. A common question is whether 7mm PRC and 7mm Remington Magnum are interchangeable. They are not. The 7mm PRC uses a beltless case with a different shape, so only fire it in a 7mm PRC chamber. Another common question is what twist rate the 7mm PRC needs. Factory rifles typically use fast twists such as 1 in 8 inches to stabilize long bullets, so check your barrel’s marking.

Hornady 80714 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Grand Island, Nebraska. It uses boxer-primed brass cases with non-corrosive priming, and the PRC brass is well suited to reloading. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 rounds total from one lot, enough to zero, practice at long distances, and hunt with the same load for several seasons. A magnum like the 7mm PRC rewards practice from field positions, so plan to shoot from sticks, packs, and prone before your hunt, and record your drops at each distance you expect to use.
