Optimized for the compact power of the 7mm SAUM

The Gold Country Scorpion 175-grain 7mm (.284) bullet was developed for cartridges like the 7mm Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum (SAUM), where high short-action velocities and modern long-range hunting performance must work together.

Short-magnum cartridges generate impressive velocity from compact rifle platforms, but their performance advantages require bullets capable of maintaining stability and expansion across a wide range of impact speeds. The Scorpion 175 was engineered to perform within this demanding velocity envelope, delivering consistent flight behavior and controlled expansion from close-range impacts through extended-distance hunting scenarios.

Functional Purpose

The Scorpion 175 provides the performance characteristics most valued by 7mm SAUM shooters:

• Aerodynamic stability for long-range hunting platforms
• Reliable expansion at both high and reduced impact velocities
• Deep penetration for medium-to-large game
• Balanced mass retention for consistent terminal performance

The open-tip controlled-expansion design promotes predictable upset while preserving bullet integrity under high-velocity impact conditions common to short-magnum platforms.

Platform Compatibility

Primary cartridge application:

• 7mm Remington SAUM

Also suitable for:

• 7mm Remington Magnum
• .280 Ackley Improved
• 7mm WSM

(See cartridge-specific listings for load guidance)

Ballistic Coefficient (Estimated)

At 175 grains, the Scorpion occupies the upper end of practical 7mm hunting bullets, balancing BC with terminal behavior.

Estimated ballistic coefficients:

• Estimated G1 BC: ~0.600 – 0.640

• Estimated G7 BC: ~0.300 – 0.320

These values reflect a long-range hunting-capable bullet rather than a pure match or ULD design.

Final BC values vary with exact ogive geometry and meplat dimensions.
