This Stage 3 Afterburner is optimized for 7mm cartridges the size of the 280 Rem and larger with a 1:9" twist. Nestled between our 134gr and 164gr, the overall balance, BC, and capabilities of this bullet are outstanding!  In a 7mm Rem Mag, it would be difficult to beat for everything but the most dangerous of game.

Like other Stage 3 releases, the loading behavior of this bullet is incredibly forgiving, thus reducing variation and inconsistencies around component selection and seating depth adjustments. This allows the ability to find accuracy nodes with ease and with a variety of combinations.

The terminal performance of this bullet results in substantial trauma. It's capable of all non-dangerous big game hunting in North America and Africa, from short to long range. The shrapnel damage is immense and the penetration deep for hard angled shots, even on heavy bone, while at the same time capable of full deployment on a broadside hit of a smaller animal at 1650 fps impact velocity.

We are excited to bring an offering that maximizes the potential of some of the older setups built around 1:9" twists.  We expect this one to find a strong following with all the 280 AI and/or 7mm SAUM advocates out there, and we look forward to hearing about many of its future success stories!
