Description
Build the lighter 7mm-08 project around a known component
The shooter choosing a 120-grain bullet for the 7mm-08 is usually trying to create a lighter hunting load, reduce recoil for a particular shooter, or find the weight a specific rifle handles best. Grain weight identifies the lane, but it does not identify the bullet construction that must anchor the work.
This Gold Country Scorpion is a 120-grain .284 hollow/open-tip component with a flat base. Scorpion is Gold Country’s hollow/open-tip family. The page gives the 7mm-08 handloader the exact physical identity needed before seating, fit and rifle-specific testing begin.
This listing contains 50 component bullets. Cases, primers, powder and loaded ammunition are not included. Gold Country hand swages these bullets in small batches. They are made to order and normally ship within seven business days.
What this bullet helps you accomplish
It gives you a defined starting point for a lighter 7mm-08 hunting-load project. You can establish safe loading parameters around the actual 120-grain open-tip, flat-base component, verify fit and function, and then measure whether the finished rifle-and-load system serves the shooter, game and field conditions that motivated the project.
Why choose this page instead of the 120-grain Rhino
These two 120-grain .284 bullets solve different problems. Choose the Scorpion when the project is a 7mm-08 load built around hollow/open-tip construction and a flat base. Choose the Rhino when the assignment is a flat-nose bullet for a compatible tubular-magazine 7-30 Waters lever rifle. The shared weight does not make the components interchangeable.

Prove the complete system
The Scorpion name identifies Gold Country’s hollow/open-tip construction. It does not guarantee accuracy, expansion, penetration or a particular terminal result. Confirm bullet length, seating depth, cartridge overall length, chamber and magazine fit, and barrel-twist suitability. Begin with current published jacketed-bullet data for the 7mm-08 Remington and this weight, work carefully, and test the finished load in the actual rifle.
