The 7mm Remington Magnum and the 175 grain bullet are a long-standing pairing for elk hunters who want weight and reach in a single rifle. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 7mm Remington Magnum 175 grain pointed soft point ammo, MPN 27814, sold as a 200 round case for elk, moose, and big-bodied deer.
Remington rates this load at 2,860 fps with 3,178 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 175 grain bullet is the heaviest common factory weight in 7mm Mag, with a high sectional density that drives penetration through heavy bone and muscle. Core-Lokt construction uses a tapered jacket mechanically locked to the lead core, which slows expansion and helps the bullet retain weight. The pointed tip keeps trajectory reasonably flat for open country shots. This is a soft point hunting load, intended for big game, not target practice.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, including the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Ruger Hawkeye and American, Savage 110, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt and BAR, Bergara B-14, and Weatherby Vanguard. A common question is whether 7mm Rem Mag and 7mm PRC are interchangeable. They are not. The cases differ, so only fire this in a rifle marked 7mm Remington Magnum. Another common question is whether the 175 grain bullet is too much for whitetail. It works well on deer, but 140 to 160 grain loads shoot flatter and recoil less if deer are your main target.
Remington 27814 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. 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. A magnum hunting rifle rewards practice, and a full case lets you build confidence at the range before the hunt.
