yes but it did not come out till 2015 and I already owned these guns. I could load the Lapua to do it all as well. Reach out further and hit harder -- ofcourse you do have to carry the Lapua and mounted with a scope and shooting sticks I think mine weighs close to 18 pounds. So If I lose 18 pounds I guess it is a washI love all my rifles and various cartridges they are chambered for BUT I'm pretty sure the 28 Nosler could fill that order easily.
