Norma is known for high-quality brass and premium hunting loads, and its Whitetail line offers that pedigree at an everyday price. This listing is Norma Whitetail 7mm Remington Magnum 150 grain pointed soft point ammo, MPN 20171512, sold as a 200 round case for deer hunters who rely on a 7mm Mag.
Norma rates this load at 3,018 fps with 3,034 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 150 grain pointed soft point bullet is a classic deer weight for the 7mm Remington Magnum, combining a flat trajectory with reliable expansion on deer-sized game. The exposed lead tip initiates mushrooming, and the jacket controls it for penetration through the vitals. This is a hunting load built for whitetail, mule deer, and similar game, and a lighter-recoiling option than heavier 7mm Mag loads.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, including the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Ruger Hawkeye, Savage 110, Tikka T3x, Sako 85 and 90, Browning X-Bolt and BAR, and Mossberg Patriot. A common question is whether 150 grain or 175 grain is better in a 7mm Mag. The 150 grain shoots flatter with less recoil for deer, while 175 grain loads carry more weight for elk. Another common question is how much the 7mm Mag recoils. It kicks more than a 270 or 30-06 with similar bullets, so a good recoil pad and practice help.
Norma 20171512 is new production ammunition, not reloads. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive priming. This case ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds from one lot. Norma brass is prized by handloaders, so save your fired cases after each season. Confirm zero with this lot before opening day, since every load prints a little differently, and practice from field positions at the distances you expect to shoot.
