HHornady's 7mm-08 Rem Superformance line brings magnum-like performance to standard cartridges. This particular load features a 139-grain SST bullet, which balances expansion and penetration for medium to large game. The Superformance propellant blend increases velocity without raising pressures, resulting in flatter trajectories and increased downrange energy. Each box contains 20 rounds of this premium ammunition. While it's primarily designed for hunting, its accuracy makes it suitable for long-range target shooting. As with all ammunition, it's important to check that it's appropriate for your specific firearm before use.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the effective range of this ammunition?

A: The effective range of the Hornady 7mm-08 Rem Superformance 139gr SST can extend beyond 500 yards for skilled shooters. However, ethical hunting ranges may be shorter, typically within 300-400 yards, depending on the shooter's ability and the size of the game.

Q: What is the intended use for this ammunition?

A: This ammunition is primarily designed for hunting medium to large game. The SST bullet provides excellent expansion and weight retention, making it ideal for deer, elk, and similar-sized game. It's also suitable for long-range shooting due to its high ballistic coefficient of .486.

Q:  How does the Superformance ammunition differ from standard 7mm-08 loads?

A: Hornady's Superformance ammunition uses advanced propellant technology to achieve higher velocities without increasing pressure or felt recoil. This results in up to 200 fps faster velocities than standard loads, providing flatter trajectories and increased energy downrange.

Q: How does the SST bullet perform on impact?

A: The SST (Super Shock Tip) bullet is designed for rapid expansion upon impact, creating a large wound channel. The InterLock ring helps keep the jacket and core together for deep penetration and high-weight retention.

Q: What is the recoil like compared to standard 7mm-08 loads?

A: Despite the higher velocity, the felt recoil is comparable to standard 7mm-08 loads. Hornady's Superformance technology achieves higher velocities without increasing pressure or felt recoil.

Q: Is this ammunition reloadable?

A: Yes, the brass from this ammunition is reloadable. Hornady uses high-quality brass that can be reloaded multiple times with proper care and attention to load data.
