Product Overview
The Black Hills Gold 7mm Remington Magnum 175gr ELD-X represents the ultimate long-range hunting load for serious marksmen. With 2,800 fps muzzle velocity, 3,045 ft-lbs of energy, and an exceptional .689 G1 ballistic coefficient, this load is engineered for precision shots at extreme distances. The heavy ELD-X bullet maintains supersonic velocity beyond 1,400 yards while Hornady's Heat Shield tip ensures consistent expansion at any range.
This ammunition excels in the hands of skilled long-range hunters who have invested in quality rifles and optics. The .689 BC is among the highest available in factory hunting ammunition, providing minimal wind drift and exceptional retained energy at distances where other bullets have become subsonic. For Western hunters pursuing elk and mule deer across vast mountain terrain, this load provides the capability to make ethical shots at ranges impossible with conventional ammunition.
Black Hills' hand-loaded precision ensures the consistency needed for accurate long-range shooting, while the 175-grain ELD-X provides controlled expansion even at the reduced velocities encountered at extreme distance. The combination of match-grade accuracy and purpose-built hunting terminal performance makes this the choice of precision rifle hunters who demand the absolute best. It's particularly effective for hunters who practice precision rifle techniques and understand their rifle's capabilities.
