Hrndy Ph 7mm Wsm 162gr Eld-x 20/200

Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm WSM 162gr ELD-X factory ammunition delivers match-grade accuracy and controlled expansion performance optimized for medium to large game hunting. The 162-grain ELD-X bullet achieves 3,000 feet per second muzzle velocity from the 7mm WSM cartridge, balancing flat trajectory with energy retention at extended ranges. Each box contains 20 carefully assembled rounds loaded to Hornady's precision standards.

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) projectile design combines a secant ogive nose profile with a boat-tail base for superior ballistic coefficient and in-flight stability. At 3,000 fps from the 7mm WSM platform, this load generates sufficient velocity to allow the bullet's bonded core construction to expand reliably while maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle. The Precision Hunter line uses match-grade powders and primers selected to minimize velocity variation, which translates directly to tighter shot groups at 100 yards and more predictable impact points at distance.

This ammunition suits hunters and long-range marksmen working with 7mm WSM rifles who demand both precision and terminal performance in a factory-loaded package. The 162-grain weight strikes a balance between velocity and wind deflection resistance, making it effective for shots beyond 300 yards where drop compensation becomes critical. Shooters who reload or prefer factory ammunition for consistency will find this load addresses the need for pre-assembled ammo that doesn't sacrifice accuracy for convenience.

The 7mm WSM cartridge operates at higher pressures than standard 7mm Magnum offerings, delivering increased velocity from shorter case bodies. Hornady's Precision Hunter line is engineered around this platform's ballistic envelope, ensuring that each round performs as designed without requiring custom firearm modifications or specialized handloading.
