Actually it always did. I've killed with it to 500 yards and with nothing more complex than a fixed 4X scope and seen the same on mature bull elk at the same distance. This with common 140-160 gr bullets.

Loaded to full potential and sighted correctly,it offers a substantially flatter trajectory to 500-600 yards, than anything on a standard case I can think of....sort of a game saver at times.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
