RE: 7mm Benchrest
It was introduced by Remington in the XP-100. mainly to be used for steel Handgun silhouettes. Its based on a shortened and necked dow 308 case. In the Contender and XP it will develope about 2300 fps with a 140 grain bullet. I think Remington still makes new brass for them. I had one for a short time when I shot steel targets.
