The Nosler Trophy Grade 7mm Remington Magnum load centers on the 168-grain AccuBond Long Range bullet—a bonded polymer-tip projectile engineered for high ballistic coefficient and controlled expansion across a wide velocity window. Launched at 2880 feet per second with 3093 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, this 7mm Remington Magnum ammunition is purpose-built for hunters who need dependable terminal performance on elk, mule deer, and similar-sized game from 100 yards to beyond 500. Nosler manufactures each Trophy Grade cartridge on Nosler Custom brass with a Boxer primer, making the cases reloadable for handloaders who want to refine their own loads. The bonding process fuses the copper jacket to the lead core, eliminating core-jacket separation even when impact velocities exceed 3000 fps—a common problem with conventional cup-and-core bullets at magnum velocities.
The Load Profile
Nosler seats the 168-grain AccuBond Long Range bullet in premium Nosler Custom brass, which is drawn to tighter tolerances than bulk hunting brass and exhibits lower runout. The long, sleek ogive of the ABLR bullet produces the 0.652 G1 ballistic coefficient—high enough to retain velocity and resist wind deflection downrange. At 300 yards, this load still carries approximately 2400 fps and over 2100 ft-lbs of energy, placing it well above the expansion threshold for bonded hunting bullets. The polymer tip initiates expansion on impact, while the bonded core holds together through heavy bone and muscle tissue. Non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass extend the utility of each case beyond the factory load.
