Hornady American Whitetail Tipped SST Rifle Ammunition 7mm Rem Mag 165gr PT 3025 fps 20/ct

The Hornady American Whitetail Tipped SST rifle ammunition in 7mm Rem Mag delivers the kind of field performance that matters when opening day arrives. Built on generations of Hornady ballistics expertise, this 165-grain centerfire load is loaded to 3025 fps and engineered specifically for whitetail and medium-to-large game hunting. Each round pairs a polymer-tipped SST bullet with Hornady's proven component standards to give hunters the combination of velocity, accuracy, and terminal performance needed for clean, ethical kills.

The SST bullet design is the real backbone here. Hornady's exclusive InterLock ring mechanically locks the bullet's core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion and allowing the projectile to retain mass and energy through the game. The polymer tip initiates controlled, rapid expansion on impact—fast enough to be effective, controlled enough to avoid explosive fragmentation and retained energy loss. This balance between quick expansion and structural integrity is what makes the difference between a wounded animal and a recovered one.

These cartridges ship in standard 20-round boxes and are loaded with Hornady's premium cases and primers for shot-to-shot consistency. The powder charge is matched for optimal pressure across the load, meaning reliable function in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles. If you're setting up for a 7mm Rem Mag hunt and want ammunition you can trust without worrying about quality control, American Whitetail Tipped delivers a proven load at a practical price point.
