7mm-08 Ammo
A former wildcat cartridge commecialized by Remington in 1980, 7mm-08 ammo is based on a necked down .308 Winchester case. It fires a 140-150 grain .284 bullet at a muzzle velocity of between 2,600-2,900 feet per second. Notable advantages of this caliber include below-average recoil, flat trajectories, and sufficient power to take any small or medium sized game.
Many manufacturers produce hunting loads for the 7mm-08 including Remington, Winchester, Nosler, Federal, and Hornady. Look at our in-stock line-up for sale on this page.
A wide variety of rifles can be obtained in this caliber including the Remington 700, Browning BLR, Kimber 84, and even several variants of the AR-10.

Hornady Custom Lite 7mm-08 Rem 120 Grain SST - 20 Rounds
$34.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 120 Grain Bullet Type SST Use Type hunting boar, hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 7mm-08 Remington Manufacturer SKU 80572 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 090255805727 Cost Per Round $1.74 per round Hornady, an American company with almost seven decades of manufacturing experience, introduced their Custom Lite line to give a low-recoil ammo option to hunters that are young, disabled, or just don't want to put up with unnecessary shoulder pain. The Custom Lite line also reduces muzzle blast for increased shooting comfort without compromising on final terminal ballistics. That means that these 7mm-08 Remington rounds can still be expected to do quite a number on small bears, moose, and other big game animals. Each cartridge utilizes a 120-grain Super Shock Tip (SST) round which is equipped with a hollow nose cavity covered by a plastic windshield.
The SST's ballistic tip, boat tail rear, and precisely angled ogive allow the bullet to glide through the air with very little drag for excellent accuracy at long distances. Upon impact with a target, the tip is driven back into the bullet's body, initiating rapid expansion and facilitating effective energy transfer to the vital organs, yielding a quick and painless stop. Jacket separation is prevented by the use of a toothed cannelure at the bullet's major diameter and a low-mounted InterLock ring on the inside the bullet. Both features ensure that the round will penetrate to an appropriate depth without losing its momentum prematurely.

Winchester Deer Season XP 7mm-08 Remington 140 Grain Extreme Point - 20 Rounds
$50.00Manufacturer Winchester Condition New Bullet Weight 140 Grain Bullet Type Polymer Tipped Use Type hunting big game, hunting boar, hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 7mm-08 Remington Manufacturer SKU X708DS Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 020892222656 Cost Per Round $2.50 per round Winchester's Deer Season XP (eXtreme Point) loads are a step up from their standard hunting options that are intended to put venison in the freezer and mount big racks over the fireplace. Each of these 7mm-08 Remington rounds is built from the ground up using Winchester's own components which include clean-igniting Boxer primers, low-residue propellant grains, and reloadable brass casings. Completing the cartridge is a 140-grain XP projectile which comprises a alloy lead core, tapered copper jacket, and a wide-mouth cavity covered by a large-diameter ballistic cone.
The large ballistic tip helps maintain aerodynamic integrity for in-flight stability and final accuracy but also causes the projectile to expand rapidly when it enters a large white-tail or big hog. This expansion is halted by the round's grooved cannelure in order to ensure that the bullet punches deep into the vital areas before coming to a stop and delivering an effective blow. Winchester is a venerable American company that has been in business since 1866 and uses their vast knowledge and experience to give hunters premium performance at a fair price.
