Federal Power-Shok has been a staple hunting load for decades, and the 7RA brings that line to the 7mm Remington Magnum. This listing is Federal Power-Shok 7mm Rem Mag 150 grain soft point ammo, MPN 7RA, sold as 200 rounds. It is a straightforward, affordable hunting load for deer and elk.
Federal rates this load at 3,110 fps with 3,221 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Power-Shok soft point uses a lead core in a copper jacket, with exposed lead at the nose that expands reliably on impact. The 150 grain bullet is a middle weight for the 7mm Mag, fast enough for flat trajectory across fields and heavy enough to penetrate on elk with good shot placement. It is a traditional cup-and-core hunting bullet that has taken a great deal of North American game.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, including the Winchester Model 70, Remington 700, Ruger Hawkeye, Browning A-Bolt and X-Bolt, Savage 110, Weatherby Vanguard, Mossberg Patriot, and Tikka T3x. A common question is how barrel length affects 7mm Rem Mag velocity. Factory ratings come from a 24 inch test barrel, so a 22 inch barrel will be slower and a 26 inch barrel a bit faster. Another common question is whether 150 grain or 160 grain is better for elk. Both work. The 160 offers a bit more penetration, while the 150 shoots slightly flatter.
Federal 7RA is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Anoka, Minnesota. It uses reloadable, boxer-primed brass with non-corrosive priming. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 rounds total from one lot, enough to sight in, practice at longer distances, and keep your rifle on a single load for several years of hunting. Confirm your zero each fall, since scopes and bedding can shift over a year in the safe or truck.
