Hornady 7mm-08 Remington American Whitetail Ammo FAQ:
The effective range of the Hornady 7mm-08 Remington American Whitetail ammunition is typically up to 300-400 yards for most hunters. However, in the hands of a skilled marksman and under ideal conditions, it can be effective at even greater distances.
The ballistic coefficient of .392 indicates good aerodynamic efficiency. This translates to better velocity retention, flatter trajectory, and reduced wind drift, especially at longer ranges, compared to bullets with lower ballistic coefficients.
The recommended twist rate for the 7mm-08 Remington firing 139gr bullets is typically 1:9.5" to 1:10". This twist rate provides optimal stabilization for the bullet, ensuring accuracy at various ranges.
Yes, this ammunition is compatible with semi-automatic rifles chambered in 7mm-08 Remington. Hornady carefully matches the powder to ensure consistent pressure and reliable cycling in various action types.
Extreme temperatures can affect ammunition performance. In very cold conditions, velocities may decrease slightly, while hot temperatures can increase pressures. However, Hornady designs their ammunition to perform consistently across a wide range of temperatures.
Barrel life can vary greatly depending on factors like firing schedule, cleaning regimen, and individual rifle characteristics. However, the 7mm-08 Remington is generally considered to have good barrel life, often exceeding 3000-5000 rounds before noticeable accuracy degradation.
While primarily designed for hunting, this ammunition can be used for long-range target shooting. However, for dedicated long-range shooting, Hornady offers other product lines with higher ballistic coefficients.
A common sight-in distance for this ammunition is 200 yards. This typically results in a point of impact about 1.5-2 inches high at 100 yards and near zero at 300 yards, providing a versatile trajectory for hunting situations.
The 7mm-08 Remington typically offers slightly less recoil, a flatter trajectory, and better wind resistance than the .308 Winchester. However, the .308 may have a slight edge in bullet weight options and close-range energy.
