Gunwerks Ammunition Precision Lead Free - 7mm Rem Mag - 155 gr. - Absolute Hunter:

From bullets to powder and primers, every component and specification has been carefully selected to provide the ultimate performance for long range hunting ammunition. It is hand loaded one cartridge at a time with meticulous inspection and quality control. With a proper understanding of external and internal ballistics, our engineers have been able to increase downrange performance for all cartridges while keeping recoil at a minimum.

This ammo is designed specifically for Gunwerks rifles; however, it can perform very well in other rifles. Gunwerks ammo is loaded longer than most factory ammo, meaning cartridges may not fit in some factory box magazines. See COAL measurement to confirm fit with your rifle.

The Absolute Hammer is specific ogive design, that falls under Hammer's PDR patent, eliminating any engraving by the rifling forward of the shoulder of the bullet. This bullet will not engage the lands anywhere on the ogive. This eliminates distortion of the nose that causes changes in bc from rifle to rifle depending on how loose or tight the bore is. The bonus to this design is greatly reduced engraving pressure resulting in significant gains in velocity compared to bullets of the same weight. In Hammer's 280ai test rifles they gained 300-400 fps over conventional bullets of the same weight. Given the low pressure and extra velocity these bullets produce, they should only be loaded by experienced hand loaders that are very good at reading pressure signs. You will see that these bullets will require faster than normal powders for the cartridge and bullet weight. Load with caution.

A valid firearms license (FAC, PAL or POL) is required to purchase ammunition. It is our policy to sell ammunition only to persons 18 years of age or older, and in accordance with local, provincial and federal regulations. Ammunition must ship to the address registered to the firearms license of the purchaser.

7mm Remington Mag:

The 7mm Remington Magnum rifle cartridge was introduced as a commercially available round in 1962, along with the new Remington Model 700 bolt-action rifle. It is a member of the belted magnum family that is directly derived from the venerable .375 H&H Magnum.

The original purpose of the belted magnum concept taken from the .300 H&H and .375 H&H, was to provide precise control of the head-space, since the sloping shoulders, while easing cartridge extraction, provided poor head-spacing. Improved cartridge extraction reliability is desirable while hunting dangerous game, which would be of concern when needing a fast follow up shot.

The 7mm Rem is based on the commercial Winchester .264 Win Mag, .338 Win Mag, and .458 Win Mag, which were based on the same belted .300 H&H and .375 H&H cases, trimmed to nearly the same length as the .270 Wby Mag.

On its introduction, the 7mm Rem. Mag. substantially usurped the market share held by the .264 Winchester Magnum, which went into sharp decline in popularity and sales after 1962. Maximum pressure is set by SAAMI at 61,000 PSI. 52,000 CUP

Remington has recently offered Managed Recoil ammunition for achieving reduced recoil when shooting and for generating less meat damage when hunting smaller game

Suggested Use:

  • Deer (long range)
  • Black Bear (long range)
  • Sheep / Goat (long range)
  • Moose
  • Elk
  • Buffalo / Bison


Performance:

The 7mm Remington Magnum offers ballistics better than the .30-06 Springfield with bullet weights of 175 grains and less, one of the more popular loads being a 160 grain spitzer loaded to 3,000 ft/s (910 m/s). This is due both to the higher muzzle velocity of the magnum compared to the Springfield and that .284 diameter bullets tend to have better ballistic coefficients than .308 diameter bullets of comparable mass. It is arguable that the 7 mm Remington Magnum offers marginally better ballistics with 175 grain bullets, the heaviest bullet commonly used in the caliber. The .30-06 Springfield can, however, be loaded with heavier bullets up to 220 grains.

Because of its flat shooting nature and the relatively tolerable recoil, the 7mm Remington Magnum is especially popular for Western plains use in the United States, as well as for use on plains game in Africa. It has also been chambered in sniper rifles as the US Secret Service counter-sniper team has deployed this cartridge in urban areas. Popular online gun author Chuck Hawks calls the 7mm Remington "one of the great all-around rifle cartridges.
