Speer 1628 Boat-Tail 7mm 145gr Jacketed Soft Point bullets are designed for hunters seeking to extend their effective range on medium game. The tapered boat-tail design significantly reduces aerodynamic drag, leading to flatter trajectories and improved resistance to wind drift. These projectiles feature a soft point tip that ensures rapid expansion upon impact for quick, ethical harvests. They are a premier choice for cartridges like the 7mm-08 and 7mm Rem Mag when hunting white-tailed deer, mule deer, and antelope. Defensive Application Optimized for long-range hunting, these bullets provide rapid disruption and deep penetration, but pose a significant over-penetration risk for home defense applications.
