Sellier & Bellot 7mm Remington Mag SP Ammo FAQ:
The effective range of the Sellier & Bellot 7mm Remington Mag 173gr SP can extend beyond 500 yards for skilled shooters. However, ethical hunting shots should typically be limited to 400 yards or less, depending on the hunter's skill level and the specific hunting situation.
The soft point bullet is designed to expand reliably upon impact, creating a large wound channel while still penetrating deeply. This controlled expansion helps ensure quick, ethical kills on big game animals.
While Sellier & Bellot produces high-quality ammunition, the specific suitability for reloading can vary. It's generally recommended to use new brass for reloading purposes, but many reloaders do successfully reload Sellier & Bellot cases.
No, Sellier & Bellot 7mm Remington Mag 173gr SP ammunition is not corrosive. Modern commercial ammunition, including this product, uses non-corrosive primers and propellants.
While Sellier & Bellot doesn't publish specific pressure data, 7mm Remington Magnum ammunition must adhere to SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute) specifications, which set the maximum average pressure at 61,000 psi. This load is designed to operate safely within these limits.
The exact trajectory will depend on the rifle's zero, but generally, when zeroed at 200 yards, this load might drop about 7-8 inches at 300 yards and 20-22 inches at 400 yards. These are approximate figures and actual results may vary.
The high ballistic coefficient (.376) of this bullet helps it resist wind drift better than many lighter or less aerodynamic bullets. However, at longer ranges, wind will still have a significant effect and must be accounted for.
While this hunting load is designed for excellent accuracy, match-grade loads are specifically engineered for ultimate precision. For most hunting applications, the accuracy of this ammunition will be more than sufficient.
Most 7mm Remington Magnum rifles have a 1:9.5" twist rate, which is suitable for stabilizing this 173gr bullet. However, always consult your rifle's specifications to ensure proper bullet stabilization.
