Description
This Federal Premium 7mm Remington Magnum load brings together proven elements in a cartridge that handles the full range of medium to large game. The 160-grain Trophy Bonded Tip bullet sits at the heart of what makes this round work, and it's worth understanding what that means in the field.
The Trophy Bonded Tip design starts with a bonded construction that locks the jacket to the core, preventing separation on impact. That solid copper shank punches through bone and muscle with serious penetration, while the polymer tip initiates controlled expansion. The boat-tail profile adds aerodynamic efficiency for flatter trajectories and better stability at distance. You get an exit velocity of 2900 fps with 2988 ft-lbs of energy, which translates to the kind of performance that works across reasonable hunting distances.
What Makes Trophy Bonded Tip Ammunition Stand Out
The exterior skiving on the Trophy Bonded Tip bullet creates optimized expansion patterns while the bonding prevents jacket separation. That weight retention matters. A bullet that sheds material loses effectiveness downrange, and Federal engineered this to keep its weight and momentum through the target. The nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and extract smoothly shot after shot, and Federal loads these with their Gold Medal primers for reliable ignition every time.
Federal 7mm Rem Mag for Hunting Elk, Deer, and Larger Game
This round handles deer and pronghorn reliably, but it really shines when you're after elk or black bear. The 160-grain bullet weight sits in the sweet spot for the 7mm Magnum, offering a balance between velocity and impact force that works from the bench and in the field. Federal assembled each component with select powders and quality brass, which means you get consistency box to box. That matters when you're making shots count.
The load is new production, non-corrosive, and loaded in reloadable brass, so you can get multiple uses from each case if you reload.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game can I hunt with Federal 7mm Rem Mag Trophy Bonded Tip ammunition?
These cartridges work well on medium game like deer and pronghorn, and step up to large game including elk and black bear. The 160-grain bullet provides the penetration and weight retention needed for bigger animals while maintaining enough velocity for reliable expansion across practical hunting ranges.
How does the Trophy Bonded Tip bullet expand on impact?
The polymer tip crushes into the bullet's core upon contact, which pushes the jacket outward into the characteristic mushroom shape that creates knockdown power. The bonded construction holds the jacket and core together throughout expansion, preventing separation and maximizing penetration while the solid copper shank provides deep, consistent performance.
Are Federal 7mm Rem Mag Trophy Bonded Tip cases reloadable?
Yes, these cartridges use new production, reloadable nickel-plated brass cases with Boxer primers. The nickel plating also helps with extraction and resists corrosion if you're storing ammunition for extended periods.
What's the advantage of the boat-tail design on this bullet?
The boat-tail profile improves aerodynamic efficiency, which translates to a flatter trajectory and better stability in crosswinds, especially at longer hunting distances. This design helps maintain velocity and energy further downrange compared to flat-base bullets.
