Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953
Secure Transactions provided with 
The 7mm Remington Magnum earned its reputation back in 1962 as a flat-shooting, hard-hitting cartridge for hunters who needed more reach than a .30-06 without adding much recoil, and this Sellier & Bellot load carries that tradition forward with a heavier 173 grain bullet built for penetration over speed. Sellier & Bellot has been in the ammunition business since 1825, and while they're better known for military-spec loads, this particular round is aimed squarely at hunters looking for a dependable big game option without paying premium prices.
What sets this 173 grain load apart is the Soft Point Cutting Edge design. Instead of just wrapping a jacket loosely around the lead core, the cutting edge mechanically locks the two together, which keeps the bullet from shedding its jacket too early on impact. That translates to controlled expansion, a clean entrance wound, and blood trails that are easier to follow if you don't get a pass-through. Shooters who've run this round through their rifles consistently mention how cleanly it punches paper at the range, which speaks to good bullet balance and consistent manufacturing.
This load leaves the muzzle at roughly 2,782 feet per second and generates close to 2,970 ft-lbs of energy, numbers that put it solidly in the heavier, penetration-focused end of the 7mm Rem Mag lineup. A G1 ballistic coefficient of .376 helps it buck wind and hold velocity better than lighter, faster bullets in the same caliber, while a sectional density of .306 gives it the kind of penetration you want on thicker-skinned game. It's a trade of a little speed for a lot of authority downrange, which is exactly what a lot of hunters look for when the shot might not be perfectly broadside.
On the practical side, this ammunition is brass cased with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive, so if you're a handloader looking to stretch your dollar further, the cases are worth saving. Sellier & Bellot manufactures out of their Vlašim, Czech Republic facility under ISO quality standards, and that consistency shows up in how well this load tends to group from rifle to rifle. Whether you're sighting in before season or heading out after whitetail, mule deer, or similar sized game, this is a straightforward, no-nonsense load that does what it's built to do.
Yes, this load is well suited to whitetail, mule deer, and similar sized game. The Soft Point Cutting Edge bullet is designed for controlled expansion and a clean wound channel, and hunters commonly report quick, humane kills with this exact load.
Yes, this ammo uses brass cases with boxer primers, which makes it reloadable. Just keep in mind that some reloaders note S&B brass runs on the harder side, so you may want to anneal cases after a few firings for best consistency.
SPCE stands for Soft Point Cutting Edge, a design where the jacket is engineered to mechanically lock onto the lead core rather than just sit around it. This helps the bullet hold together better during expansion, giving you a more predictable wound channel compared to a basic soft point.
The 173 grain bullet trades some velocity for added weight and penetration compared to lighter 139 or 150 grain loads. It's a good pick if you want more authority on bigger bodied deer or want a bullet less likely to over-expand at closer ranges.
