Why Choose Federal Premium Ammunition?

Federal Premium isn't just a name; it's a commitment to quality that begins at the very foundation of each cartridge. When you load Federal Premium 7mm Rem Mag into your rifle, you're loading decades of ballistic expertise and an unwavering dedication to component integrity.

• Unrivaled Primers for Consistent Ignition: Every Federal Premium round starts with primers that undergo an exceptionally rigorous inspection process. They are subjected to more frequent and stringent checks for dimensional tolerances and precise charge weight. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees that each primer delivers absolutely consistent ignition, shot after shot, critical for predictable accuracy and reliable performance when it matters most. Hunters rely on this consistency for cold bore shots and follow-ups alike.
• Specially Formulated, Clean-Burning Propellants: The powders used in Federal Premium loads are not generic. They are custom-formulated to meet Federal's exacting specifications, ranking among the highest grades available in the industry. These propellants are renowned for their clean-burning characteristics, which translate to less residue in your rifle's barrel, preserving accuracy over longer shooting sessions and simplifying firearm maintenance. More importantly, their consistency ensures predictable velocities and pressures, contributing directly to the round's ballistic precision.
• Precision-Built Nickel-Plated Brass Casings: The casing is the backbone of any reliable ammunition, and Federal Premium elevates this component to an art form. The precision-built cases in most centerfire Premium loads feature a distinctive nickel-plated brass construction. This isn't merely for aesthetics; it provides tangible benefits in the field:
  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Nickel plating offers exceptional protection against rust and corrosion, an invaluable asset when hunting in wet, humid, or otherwise challenging environmental conditions.
  • Sleek, Smooth Extraction: The slick surface of nickel-plated brass significantly aids in smooth, effortless extraction from your rifle's chamber, even after rapid firing or in adverse conditions. This prevents potential hang-ups and ensures reliable cycling when follow-up shots are crucial.
  • Enhanced Durability: The plating adds an extra layer of durability, resisting wear and tear, and contributing to the longevity of the brass for those who choose to reload.

The Barnes TSX Bullet: Redefining Terminal Performance

At the heart of this formidable load is the 160-grain Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) bullet, a projectile universally recognized by professional hunters and guides for its exceptional terminal performance. The Barnes TSX is not just another bullet; it's an engineering marvel designed for maximum effectiveness on game.

• Monolithic All-Copper Construction: Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the Barnes TSX is machined from a single piece of pure copper. This monolithic design is fundamentally different and offers several critical advantages:
  • Near 100% Weight Retention: On impact, the Barnes TSX is engineered to retain virtually all of its original weight. This is paramount for deep penetration, allowing the bullet to drive through heavy bone and muscle to reach vital organs, ensuring a humane and effective kill.
  • Consistent, Large-Diameter Expansion: Despite its solid construction, the TSX features a hollow point cavity that initiates rapid, controlled expansion upon striking tissue. This creates a wide, devastating wound channel, disrupting internal organs and leading to quick, ethical incapacitation. The petals peel back uniformly, creating a mushroom shape that maximizes energy transfer without fragmentation.
  • Lead-Free Advantage: Being an all-copper bullet, the Barnes TSX is completely lead-free. This addresses environmental concerns in areas where lead ammunition is restricted and minimizes lead fragmentation within game meat, offering a cleaner harvest.
• Grooved Shank for Superior Accuracy and Reduced Fouling: The Barnes TSX bullet features multiple relief grooves machined into its shank. This innovative design serves a dual purpose:
  • Improved Accuracy: The grooves reduce the bearing surface of the bullet as it travels down the barrel, minimizing friction and allowing for more consistent bullet release, which directly translates to tighter groups on target.
  • Minimized Barrel Fouling: By reducing contact with the rifling, the grooved shank significantly cuts down on copper fouling in the barrel. This means your rifle maintains its accuracy for more shots between cleanings, a significant benefit during extended hunting trips.

Ballistics and Real-World Application for the 7mm Rem Mag

The 7mm Remington Magnum is a legendary cartridge known for its flat trajectory, high velocity, and excellent energy delivery, making it ideal for hunting medium to large game at extended ranges. When paired with the 160-grain Barnes TSX, its capabilities are truly optimized.

• Impressive Muzzle Velocity and Energy: With a stated muzzle velocity of 2940 feet per second (fps) and a formidable muzzle energy of 3071 foot-pounds (ft-lbs), this Federal Premium load delivers a powerful punch downrange. This combination of speed and energy ensures the bullet arrives at the target with sufficient force to achieve its intended terminal performance, even at distances where other cartridges might begin to falter.
• Ethical Hunting and Confidence: For the responsible hunter, the goal is always a quick, humane kill. The deep penetration and consistent expansion of the Barnes TSX bullet, combined with the power of the 7mm Rem Mag, provides the confidence that your shot will be effective. This reduces the chance of wounded game and ensures a more ethical outcome. Whether you're making a precision shot on a distant elk across a mountain basin or navigating dense timber for a close-range encounter with a bear, this ammunition performs reliably.
• Versatility for Big Game: This 160-grain load is perfectly suited for a wide array of North American and international big game animals. From the tough hide and bone structure of elk and moose to the dense muscle of large whitetail deer and bears, the Barnes TSX consistently performs. It's a prime example of a specialized load designed for optimum performance within a popular, versatile caliber.
