A heavy bullet makes the 7mm Remington Magnum a serious elk and moose cartridge, and PPU offers one at a price that encourages practice. This listing is PPU Standard Rifle 7mm Rem Mag 174 grain pointed soft point boat tail ammo, MPN PP7RM2, sold as 200 rounds. It suits hunters who prefer weight and penetration over maximum speed.
PPU rates this load at 2,770 fps with 2,964 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 174 grain bullet sits at the heavy end of common 7mm weights, with high sectional density that drives deep through heavy shoulders and bone on large game. The pointed boat tail profile helps it retain energy downrange, while the soft point exposes lead to start expansion. It is a big game hunting load, best suited to elk, moose, and large bears where penetration matters most.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, including the Remington 700, Ruger Hawkeye, Winchester Model 70, Browning X-Bolt, Sako 85, Tikka T3x, Savage 110, and CZ 557 or 550 magnum models. A common question is whether a heavy 174 grain bullet stabilizes in a factory 7mm Mag barrel. Most factory barrels use a twist around 1 in 9.5 inches, which handles bullets up to about 175 grains. Another common question is how much drop a heavy bullet adds. Expect more drop than with 140 or 150 grain loads, so zero with this load and confirm holds at long range.
PPU PP7RM2 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in Serbia by Prvi Partizan. It uses boxer-primed brass cases with non-corrosive priming, and the cases are well regarded by reloaders. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 rounds total from one lot. That is enough to zero, practice extensively, and still bring the same load on an elk hunt.
