Now don't be jumping on my arse if he's wrong but that's what I was told. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

The 2012 .257 Roberts came in around Holloween. I'm going to sit this one out. The stainless in 7mm-08 pretty much got it covered and probably handles better with the short action. molɔ̀ːn labé skýla
