Just use a Nosler 120 grain Ballistic Tip if you can’t find a Remington brand in the future. Very well regarded 7mm bullet.

Haven't seen any yet, but will try to test some ASAP.
One thing that's happened with several bullet companies in the past 35 years is when they put a plastic tip in a soft-point bullet, the "new" bullet expands more violently. The big reason is there's a big cavity to accommodate the shank of the tip. It often takes some adjusting of core hardness and jacket thickness to "fix" this.

Some of the bullet weights appear the same as Hornady. You don't suppose?

Hornady bullets have graced Rem factory ammo before.

Oh, yes....
In the early 1990s I sectioned some supposed Core-Lokts pulled from factory ammo--and found an Interlock ring.....

About 30 yrs . ago I thought they were the same bullet. .They look different now though.

Wasn't the Remington Accutip just a Hornady SST?

Are they really new or just re-introduced? I have a box of Reminton 30-06 Cartriges, loaded with 180 grain "Bronze point" bullets. IIRC they are from the 1980's.

Wasn't the Remington Accutip just a Hornady SST? Or a green-tipped Hornady V-Max, in varmint cartridges.
