The 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum was designed in 2002 by Remington Arms Company. The parent case is the .300 Remington Ultra Magnum and fits a .284 inch bullet on a .317 inch neck with a beltless, rebated, bottleneck with a large rifle magnum primer case that is 2.850 inches long and 3.60 inches in overall length with a 1:9 1/4 rifle twist.

The ballistic performances based off three grain types for the 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum on a 26 inch test barrel for muzzle velocity are 3,425 ft/s (140 gr), 3,325 ft/s (150 gr), and 3,025 ft/s (175 gr). The life of barrels for shooting a 7mm RUM is approximately 400-500 rounds due to erosion from gas, but can be extended further by waiting for the barrel to cool between shots and using cleaning out powder residues between every three shots.

Hand loading brass for the 7mm RUM is available in a variety of loads. Some performances include muzzle velocity of 3,093 ft/s (175 gr) and 3,214 (160 gr). The 7mm can be used on heavy game with accurate distances up to 300 yards before noticeable wound penetration and trajectory drop-off occurs.
