7mm Rem – 139 Gr InterLock SP – Hornady American Whitetail (80591) – 200 Rounds

Hornady built American Whitetail as a no-nonsense deer line at a fair price, and the 7mm Remington Magnum version gives open-country hunters a very flat trajectory. This listing is Hornady American Whitetail 7mm Rem Mag 139 grain InterLock spire point ammo, MPN 80591, sold as 200 rounds, enough for a family of hunters or many seasons for one rifle.

Hornady rates this load at 3,150 fps with 3,062 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The InterLock bullet has a raised ring inside the jacket that grips the lead core, so the bullet expands reliably while keeping the core and jacket together. The spire point shape is simple and effective at normal hunting ranges, and the 139 grain weight shoots flat enough that a 200 yard zero covers most deer shots without much holdover. It is a hunting load designed for whitetail and mule deer, and it also works well on pronghorn.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, including the Remington 700, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Savage 110 and Axis, Browning X-Bolt and BAR, Tikka T3x, Bergara B-14, and Weatherby Vanguard. A common question is whether the 7mm Rem Mag is too much gun for whitetail. It is more than deer require, but a 139 grain soft point at magnum speed is effective, and many hunters like one rifle for deer and elk. Another common question is whether 7mm Rem Mag needs a magnum bolt face. Yes. It uses a belted magnum case that requires a magnum bolt face and a long action.

Hornady 80591 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 cases reload well. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 rounds total from one lot. Shooting a single lot means your zero and long-range holds stay the same from the bench to the stand.
