Hornady Superformance 7mm Remington Magnum ammunition delivers exceptional performance for big game hunters. Loaded with a 139-grain Super Shock Tip (SST) bullet, this round achieves an impressive muzzle velocity of 3240 fps. The SST bullet combines a polymer tip for long-range accuracy with a specially designed jacket for controlled expansion and deep penetration. Superformance propellants provide up to 200 fps more velocity than standard loads without increased pressure or recoil. This results in flatter trajectories and increased downrange energy for improved terminal performance on medium to large game.
