How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Hornady Superformance 139-grain SST is a polymer-tipped 7mm Remington Magnum load made for medium and large game. The SST sits over a lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 3,240 fps with 3,239 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .486.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 5.4 inches at 300 yards and 15.9 inches at 400 yards, less than any other load in the caliber, arriving with 1,881 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero the drop at 400 yards is 20.5 inches. Recoil sits with the rest of the caliber's 139- and 140-grain loads.
If you're cross-shopping, Fiocchi's 139-grain PSP BT starts slower on a G1 BC of .453 and from a 200-yard zero drops 17.4 inches at 400 yards. Hornady's own American Whitetail 139-grain InterLock SP swaps the tip for bare lead and a G1 BC of .392.
- Carries 2,166 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- Still moving at 2,468 fps at 400 yards, faster than any other load in the caliber
- The fastest start of any 139- or 140-grain load in the caliber
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required. Black Hills Gold's 139-grain CX is the copper bullet at this weight
- About 5 percent more estimated recoil than Black Hills Gold's 139-grain CX
- At 139 grains it carries less bullet than the caliber's heavier loads
