for knocking over steel. I remember reading Milek shooting deer and antelope, a natural evolution of events. The 7 BR as hot on it's heels. Both ran a 120/140 gr. close to the old 7mm Mauser's 175 gr. speeds. The 7mm is arguably one of the finest calibers on any platform, it just is.

The concept ran from 6mm up to .30, or .358 even, if you will. Gary's Raptors on the more capacity .204/.222 Mag. case take it another step. I think the 7mm GNR on the .30-30 just takes the cake. The .280 GNR is great but crosses the line on efficiency compared to some of the smaller rounds. Relating to how much powder is used to gain the extra speed. BUT when you need the baddest, fastest, the .280 GNR is there for you.

Gary was around in the glorious days when handgun performance was being truly explored. His continuation of the design and performance increase have been truly a gift to me.
