History
Remington standardized this long-popular wildcat — the .308 case necked to 7mm — in 1980. It delivers most of the .280 Remington's field performance from a short action with noticeably gentle recoil. It quietly became a favorite recommendation for new hunters and mountain-rifle builders alike.
What it's used for
Iconic platforms
Remington Model Seven and 700, Tikka T3x, Kimber Hunter, and most short-action hunting lines.

Soft point, polymer-tip, and bonded big-game loads.
