Other Features

The Hornady Outfitter 7mm Rem Mag 150 gr CX ammunition is designed for versatile performance and provides uniform, controlled expansion, deep penetration, and +95% weight retention. It features a sealed primer and case mouth, and nickel-plated cases are corrosion-resistant and waterproofed to ensure protection from moisture. This ammunition is California compatible and suitable for other areas requiring non-traditional bullets.

Performance

The bullet is optimized for medium to large game up to 1,500 pounds. It is ideal for hunting elk, mule deer, antelope, and occasional coyotes. The 150 grain CX bullet is longer than other popular 7mm hunting bullets due to its copper alloy construction and long, tapered ogive. This design helps ensure good expansion and penetration on game, making it an effective choice for medium to long-range hunting.

Ballistics

The bullet is stable at high velocities and maintains its gyroscopically stable properties even at high impact speeds. It is designed to handle high velocity and high impact speeds well, ensuring good expansion and penetration on game. The bullet retains an impressive 2,078 FPS at 600 yards, making it suitable for medium to long-range hunting.

Recommendations
