- The 7x61 S&H (Super) is a powerful and accurate cartridge designed by the legendary designer Charles Newton in 1912. It was created for use with larger game such as elk and moose due to its strong penetration, high velocity and low recoil.
The 7x61 S&H Super has a muzzle velocity of 2800 fps, with a velocity of 2600 fps at 100 yards and 2400 fps at 200 yards. The winding drift is 0.70 inches at V0, making it highly accurate even at long ranges.
It is more powerful than other cartridges of similar caliber, yet its recoil remains relatively light compared to the .30-06 or .300 Winchester Magnum cartridges. Therefore it has become very popular among experienced hunters who need accuracy and power without excessive recoil or felt muzzle blast. - Bullet Weight (gr) ->0-5050-7575-100100-150150-200200-300>300
