The Sellier & Bellot 7mm Rem. Mag. PTS 162 GRS (model V332742 / SBV332742) is centerfire rifle hunting ammunition engineered for medium-to-large game at medium to extended distances. Developed in partnership with Hornady, the PTS (Polymer Tipped Spitzer) bullet pairs a streamlined boat-tail profile with an impact-initiating polymer tip. This design delivers a flat trajectory and rapid-controlled expansion, transferring high hydrostatic energy into vital zones upon impact.

Key Features

• PTS Polymer Tip: Features a Hornady-engineered polymer tip and boat-tail design to optimize aerodynamic stability, ballistic coefficient, and trajectory consistency across extended distances.
• Rapid-Controlled Terminal Expansion: The polymer tip drives into the lead core upon target impact to trigger uniform expansion while maintaining sufficient penetration on medium and large game.
• Factory Ballistics: Produces a factory-rated muzzle velocity ($V_0$) of 842 m/s (2,762 fps) and a muzzle energy ($E_0$) of 3,722 Joules (2,745 ft·lb).
• Reloadable Components: Built with standard non-corrosive Boxer primers and factory-sealed reloadable brass cases.

Who is the Sellier & Bellot 7mm Rem Mag 162gr PTS for?

• Sambar deer hunters operating at medium to extended ranges — delivers 3,722 Joules of muzzle energy with a 162-grain polymer-tipped bullet, providing the downrange punch and rapid expansion required for large cervids out past 400 metres in alpine terrain.
• Red deer and fallow deer hunters — utilizes an 842 m/s muzzle velocity and aerodynamic boat-tail projectile to ensure a flat trajectory and consistent vital-zone performance on open plains or cross-canyon shots.
• Feral pig and goat eradication shooters — leverages the rapid hydrostatic expansion of this 7mm Rem Mag hunting ammunition to ensure decisive one-shot terminal effect on tough, medium-sized invasive game.

Less suitable for: Target engagements beyond 500 to 600 metres, where heavy high-BC match projectiles provide better wind drift resistance, or close-range thick brush hunting on dangerous heavy game, where heavier bonded-core or solid-copper expanding bullets are preferred over polymer-tipped Spitzer designs.
