7mm Rem – 150 Gr PSP – Remington Core-Lokt (29487) – 200 Rounds

The 7mm Remington Magnum earned its reputation as a flat shooting all-around elk and deer cartridge, and the 150 grain Core-Lokt is one of the loads that made it popular. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 7mm Rem Mag 150 grain pointed soft point ammo, MPN 29487 (legacy code R7MM2), sold as a 200 round case for hunters and outfitters who want one dependable load across several rifles.

Remington rates this load at 3,110 fps with 3,221 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The pointed soft point profile helps the bullet hold velocity downrange, and the Core-Lokt jacket is mechanically locked to the lead core so the bullet expands in a controlled mushroom and holds together for penetration. The 150 grain weight is on the lighter, faster side for the 7mm Mag, a good fit for deer, pronghorn, and elk at moderate ranges. This is hunting ammunition, not a target or defensive load.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, including the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt, and Bergara B-14. A common question is whether 7mm Rem Mag can be fired in a 7mm PRC or 7mm WSM rifle. No, the three cartridges have different case dimensions and are not interchangeable. Another common question is how the recoil compares to a 30-06. Recoil is noticeably sharper than a 30-06, so a good recoil pad and a few practice sessions before the season are worthwhile.

Remington 29487 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each belted magnum case is reloadable brass with a boxer primer, and the ammunition is non-corrosive. The case contains 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one production lot, which means you can confirm your zero once and trust the same trajectory for years of hunting trips. Bulk quantity also makes it practical to shoot at 300 yards and beyond before a western hunt.
