The 7mm Remington Magnum is a favorite for deer hunters who face long shots across fields, clear-cuts, and western basins, and Hornady American Whitetail offers an affordable load for it. This listing is Hornady American Whitetail 7mm Remington Magnum 154 grain InterLock spire point ammo, MPN 80590, sold as a 200 round case.
Hornady lists this load at 3,035 fps with 3,149 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The InterLock bullet uses a raised ring inside the jacket that locks the lead core in place, helping the bullet hold together and retain weight as it expands. The spire point profile gives a flat trajectory that suits the 7mm Mag’s long-range reputation. The 154 grain weight is a balanced choice for whitetail, mule deer, and pronghorn, with enough mass for larger deer at distance.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, including the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110 and Axis, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt, Bergara B-14, and Weatherby Vanguard. A common question is how far a 7mm Rem Mag is effective on deer. With practice and a solid rest, many hunters take shots to 400 yards or more, but your skill and range conditions should set the limit. Another common question is whether 7mm Rem Mag and 7mm-08 are interchangeable. They are not. The 7mm-08 is a much shorter cartridge.
Hornady 80590 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made by Hornady in Grand Island, Nebraska. 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. That is enough to practice with your hunting load at longer distances, which is the best way to make the 7mm Mag’s flat trajectory pay off.
