Part of the reason I'm such a fan of the 7mmSAUM is that it's a relatively new cartridge and Remington has produced almost all of the rifles chambered for it in a few very short years.

Due to the resulting uniformity from that small lot of rifles and ammo you find pretty fair uniformity in velocity and pressure.

My load for 140gr Accubonds uses 53.5gr of Varget and yields right at 3100fps with way less recoil and muzzle blast than a 7mm Mag and all that out of a Model 7 with a truly short action a 22" barrel and an ultralight rifle.

I don't see the need for all that velocity when accuracy usually suffers above about 3100fps anyway.

If I want more violent expansion I just switch to Ballistic Tips in the same weight and POI doesn't change at almost any range.

What could be better?
