The Sellier & Bellot 7mm Remington Magnum 162 Grain PTS Ammunition (Product Code: V332742) is engineered for medium-to-large game hunting across extended distances. Loaded with a 162-grain (10.50 g) PTS (Plastic Tip Special) projectile based on Hornady SST technology, this cartridge combines an aerodynamic polymer tip with reloadable boxer-primed brass cases. Fired from a 24-inch test barrel, it produces a muzzle velocity of 2,763 fps (842 m/s) and a muzzle energy of 2,745 ft-lb (3,722 J), retaining 2,143 fps and 1,652 ft-lb of energy downrange at 400 yards.

Key Features

• PTS Projectile Design: Utilises a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion in soft tissue while maintaining a high G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.562 (G7 0.283) for reduced aerodynamic drag.
• Downrange Energy Retention: Delivers 2,430 ft-lb of energy at 100 yards, 2,144 ft-lb at 200 yards, and 1,885 ft-lb at 300 yards.
• Flat Trajectory Profile: Factory trajectory models a 100-yard zero with -3.2 inches of drop at 200 yards, -12.1 inches at 300 yards, and -27.8 inches at 400 yards.
• Reloadable Components: Assembled in standard boxer-primed, reloadable brass casings with an overall cartridge length of 3.252 inches (82.60 mm).
• Box Packaging: Supplied in 20 rounds per retail box.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 7mm Rem Mag 162 Grain PTS Ammo 20 Rd for?

• Deer hunters in open country — Requiring extended-range trajectory and expansion, this 7mm Remington Magnum rifle ammunition uses a high G1 0.562 ballistic coefficient and a 162-grain polymer-tipped bullet to retain over 1,650 ft-lb of energy past 400 yards when taking red, fallow, rusa, or chital deer across open terrain.
• Valley and clearing feral game hunters — Firing at a muzzle velocity of 2,763 fps with factory-measured drop limited to -12.1 inches at 300 yards (from a 100-yard zero), this 20-round cartridge pack delivers the rapid terminal upset needed for targeting wild pigs and goats at variable distances across valleys and clearings.

Less suitable for: Thick-skinned, heavy game such as water buffalo or heavy scrub bulls where non-bonded rapid-expansion projectiles risk core-jacket separation; monolithic solid copper or bonded-core ammunition types are better suited for deep bone penetration. It is also unsuited for close-range brush shooting under 50 m where high impact velocities cause severe meat damage, and it must never be fired in non-magnum 7mm or alternative magnum chambers.
