Description
Why do we love Manitowoc, Wisconsin? Is it because a piece of Sputnik 4 crashed there in 1960? Is it because it is home of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum? Is it the city’s world-class lodging, dining and entertainment? Partly, yes. But we also love Manitowoc because Ammo Inc. loads proper 7mm Remington Magnum hunting ammunition there – complete with Hornady’s state-of-the-art Super Shock Tip bullets.
rThis round’s SST boasts a G1 BC of 0.525. (In other words, the numerical measurement of the bullet’s ability to overcome frontal air resistance is high.) The SST’s low-drag polymer tip, secant ogive profile and boat tail obviously won’t make you a better marksman, but they all ensure you’ll hit what you’re (actually) aiming at.
rThe SST is one tough cookie. Hornady’s patented InterLock ring locks the jacket and core together tightly. So too does the SST’s cannelure, which further embeds the jacket into the core. The SST’s polymer tip remains functional after impact. That’s when it drives into the core like a wedge to elicit deadly expansion.
rThe good men and women of Manitowoc load these deer and elk smokers with new and reloadable brass cases, very clean-burning propellant, and love.
