For hunters pursuing elk, moose, and large-bodied deer at extended range, 7mm Remington Magnum ammo chambered with Nosler’s 160-grain AccuBond bonded polymer tip offers a proven balance of flat trajectory, deep penetration, and controlled expansion. Trophy Grade rounds leave the muzzle at 2925 fps with 3039 ft-lbs of energy—enough to anchor heavy game at distances where lesser cartridges shed too much velocity. The proprietary bonding process eliminates core-jacket separation, a common failure mode in traditional cup-and-core bullets when driven at magnum velocities through heavy bone and muscle.

Built for the Box

Nosler manufactures Trophy Grade on Nosler Custom brass—drawn to tighter tolerances than mil-spec cases and weight-sorted before loading. Each case receives a Boxer primer for reliable ignition across temperature extremes, from sub-zero mountain hunts to hot desert stalks. The 160-grain AccuBond bullet features a white polymer tip that resists deformation in the magazine while initiating expansion on impact. Bonded construction retains 60-70% of the bullet’s original weight through heavy tissue and bone, translating to deeper wound channels and more reliable terminal performance on quartering-away shots where penetration depth decides whether you recover your animal.

The Numbers

The G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.531 keeps this load supersonic past 800 yards, giving you a usable point-blank range for vital-zone hits without dialing elevation on scopes zeroed at 200 yards. Sectional density of 0.283 sits in the sweet spot for medium to large game—heavy enough to drive through shoulder blades, light enough to deliver explosive wound channels in the vitals. Brass cases are reloadable; save your fired cases for handloaders who prize Nosler headstamps. Browse our full selection of 7mm Rem Mag ammo for additional bullet weights and constructions.

Who It’s For

This load suits hunters working open country where shots stretch past 300 yards—high plains antelope, ridge-to-ridge mule deer, and alpine elk that bed in basins you glass from across the canyon. The 160-grain weight holds velocity better than lighter 140-grain options while producing less recoil than 175-grain variants, making it easier to spot your own impacts and call follow-up shots if needed. Expect 2-3 inches of drop at 300 yards with a 200-yard zero, minimal wind drift in crosswinds under 10 mph, and enough retained energy at 400 yards to punch through both shoulders on a broadside bull.
