Hornady American Whitetail Tipped SST 7mm Rem Mag 154gr, 20-Round Box

Hornady American Whitetail Tipped 7mm Remington Magnum ammunition (brand part no. 80601) loads a 154-grain SST bullet for deer hunters who want flat-shooting reach without sacrificing terminal performance. Hornady builds the SST around a secant ogive profile and a polymer tip that drives into the lead core on impact, starting rapid, controlled expansion the instant the bullet reaches the vitals. An InterLock ring embedded in the bullet’s core locks core and jacket together through that expansion, so the bullet retains mass instead of shedding it early. Loaded to conventional pressures and matched powder, this round cycles reliably in semi-autos as well as bolt guns. For whitetail and similarly sized game, this is Hornady’s proven, do-it-again 7mm Rem Mag load among its rifle ammunition.
