HSM Tipping Point 7mm-08 Remington 162-grain ammunition (brand part no. 7MM0812N) pairs a small custom loader’s attention to detail with Hornady’s proven Super Shock Tip bullet. HSM loads each round to match-grade consistency, a step up from typical factory ammunition that tightens group sizes for hunters shooting at extended range. The Hornady SST bullet behind it uses a polymer tip over a boat-tail profile, a combination that starts expansion immediately on impact while holding a flatter trajectory downrange than blunter hunting bullets. Built around the mild-recoiling, hard-hitting 7mm-08 Remington cartridge, this rifle ammunition gives hunters extreme terminal performance without the punishment of a magnum round.
Key Specifications
- The chambering is 7mm-08 Remington, a mild-recoiling cartridge that still carries serious energy for medium game.
- The bullet weighs 162 grains, a heavier-for-caliber weight that favors penetration on larger deer and elk-class game.
- The bullet is a Hornady SST, a polymer-tipped design loaded into HSM’s Tipping Point line.
- The polymer tip initiates rapid, consistent expansion the instant the bullet meets tissue.
- A boat-tail profile reduces drag, helping the bullet retain velocity and energy at extended range.
- Cases are made of brass, supporting reliable extraction and consistent chamber pressures.
- HSM loads each round to match-grade consistency, tightening groups for hunters shooting at distance.
- Each box holds 20 rounds, enough to verify zero and still fill a tag.
- A full case totals 25 boxes, or 500 rounds, useful for hunters who shoot 7mm-08 regularly.
- Cost runs about $1.88 per round, competitive for a match-grade hunting load built on a premium bullet.
