7mm Rem – 175 Gr SP – Federal Power-Shok (7RB) – 200 Rounds

Elk hunters who shoot a 7mm Remington Magnum often reach for the heaviest common bullet weight, and 175 grains is it. This listing is Federal Power-Shok 7mm Rem Mag 175 grain jacketed soft point ammo, MPN 7RB, sold as a 200 round case. It is aimed at hunters going after elk, moose, and large black bear who value penetration over a flatter trajectory.

Federal rates this load at 2,860 fps with 3,178 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Power-Shok soft point is a traditional cup and core design with exposed lead at the nose for dependable expansion. A heavy 175 grain bullet keeps more weight as it opens up, which is why it drives deep through heavy shoulders and bone. It is a big game hunting load, so keep it for the field and for confirming zero rather than for target practice.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, such as the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, Ruger Hawkeye, Savage 110, Browning X-Bolt, Weatherby Vanguard, and Tikka T3x. A common question is whether a 175 grain bullet will stabilize in every 7mm Mag. Most factory 7mm Rem Mag rifles use a 1 in 9 or 1 in 9.5 inch twist, which handles this weight well, but always confirm accuracy in your own rifle. Another common question is whether you need to re-zero when switching from 150 or 160 grain loads. Yes. Heavier bullets usually impact at a different point, so check your zero before the hunt.

Federal 7RB is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Anoka, Minnesota. Every round uses a reloadable belted brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive components. The case includes 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot, giving an outfitter or a hunting group matched ammunition for several rifles. It also leaves enough rounds to practice at the distances an elk hunt may require.
