The Nosler BT 7mm-08 Remington ammo delivers a 120-grain Nosler Ballistic Tip projectile at 3000 feet per second, generating 2397 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. This is a medium-game hunting load engineered for deer, antelope, and hogs at ranges where rapid expansion and deep penetration matter. The 7mm-08 Remington is a necked-down .308 Winchester case, offering lighter recoil than parent cartridges while maintaining flat trajectory and terminal performance in the 100 to 300-yard envelope. Each round ships in boxer-primed brass cases, non-corrosive, and reloadable for handloaders who want to work up custom loads after the factory box runs dry.
Load Profile
Nosler builds this ammunition using premium in-house components — the same Ballistic Tip bullets trusted in handloads for decades, paired with Nosler-manufactured brass held to tight dimensional tolerances. The 120-grain polymer-tipped projectile features a heavy jacket base that resists deformation during firing and holds together at high velocities, while the polycarbonate tip initiates expansion on impact and resists magazine deformation during storage and transport. The pure lead core is uniform to eliminate flight imbalance, and the mid-section jacket keeps the bullet intact until terminal impact. G1 ballistic coefficient measures 0.417, sectional density 0.213 — numbers that translate to predictable drop and wind drift at hunting distances.

This load sits in the lighter end of the 7mm-08 spectrum — faster and flatter than 140-grain pills, with less recoil and more forgiving wind performance than heavier bullets. Every round receives a visual inspection before packaging, part of the quality control Nosler applies to all premium components. For hunters running bolt-action or semi-auto rifles chambered in 7mm-08 ammo, this is a proven load for whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn, and feral hogs at typical stand and stalk distances.
