The Norma Dedicated Hunting Whitetail 7mm-08 Remington 150 gr Soft Point ammunition (MPN: 20171502) is engineered for medium-to-large game hunting. Loaded with a traditional exposed lead-core pointed soft point (SP) bullet weighing 150 grains (9.7 g), this cartridge produces a muzzle velocity of 2,756 fps (840 m/s) and a muzzle energy of 2,529 ft-lb (3,422 J) from a standard 24-inch (610 mm) test barrel. It delivers uniform, controlled expansion and energy transfer on impact, making it an effective factory load for short-to-medium-range field stalking.

Key Features:

• Controlled Terminal Expansion: The pointed soft point bullet profile ensures consistent deformation and deep penetration on game animals.
• Downrange Performance: Maintains 2,002 fps of velocity and 1,335 ft-lb of energy at 300 metres, providing sufficient terminal energy for medium game at standard hunting distances.
• Factory Zero Optimisation: Features a factory Most Recommended Distance (MRD) zero rating of 166 metres (185 yards).
• Premium Reloadable Components: Loaded in Norma boxer-primed brass cases, offering uniform wall thickness and concentricity for handloading reuse.

Who is the Norma Whitetail 7mm-08 150gr Soft Point for?

• Australian Deer Stalkers — Requires a 150 grains soft-point projectile travelling at 2,756 fps to deliver reliable expansion and more than 1,300 ft-lb of energy through vitals on fallow, red, chital, and rusa deer out to moderate ranges.
• Feral Pig and Goat Hunters — Relies on this 7mm-08 Remington centerfire ammunition to produce 2,529 ft-lb of muzzle energy from standard bolt-action rifles for immediate knockdown on tough invasive game.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting exceeding 300 m to 400 m engagement distances, where the 0.341 G1 ballistic coefficient experiences increased wind drift and drop; dedicated high-BC polymer-tipped hunting ammunition or match-grade hunting cartridges are better suited for extreme ranges. It is strictly incompatible with chambers other than 7mm-08 Remington (such as .308 Winchester or 7mm Remington Magnum).
