The 160 grain bullet is considered by many elk hunters to be the ideal weight for the 7mm Remington Magnum. This listing is HSM Standard 7mm Rem Mag 160 grain pointed soft point ammo, MPN 7MMMAG29N, sold as 200 rounds. HSM is a family-run American ammunition company, and the N suffix marks this as its new production ammunition.
The pointed soft point combines a streamlined nose for better downrange performance with exposed lead that starts reliable expansion. A 160 grain 7mm bullet carries a high sectional density, which means good penetration on elk, moose, and big-bodied deer. In the 7mm Rem Mag, that bullet weight balances trajectory and energy well for western hunts, where shots can stretch past 300 yards. This is a hunting load, not intended for match shooting.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, including the Remington 700 BDL and CDL, Winchester Model 70, Ruger Hawkeye and American, Savage 110, Browning X-Bolt and A-Bolt, Weatherby Vanguard, Tikka T3x, and Mossberg Patriot. A common question is whether 7mm Rem Mag and 7mm-08 or 7mm PRC are interchangeable. They are not, so only fire this ammo in a rifle marked 7mm Remington Magnum. Another common question is why the 7mm Rem Mag has a belt. The belt originally controlled headspace, a design shared by many older magnums, and it does not affect how you use the ammunition.
HSM 7MMMAG29N is new production ammunition, not reloads. It is loaded in brass cases. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 rounds total from one lot. A full case gives you enough to sight in, practice at the longer distances this cartridge is known for, and build confidence before an expensive western hunt. Practice from shooting sticks, a backpack, and prone, and record your drops out to the distances you are willing to shoot, so there is no guesswork when an animal steps out.
