Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Model Seven 7mm saum elk load

I just purchased a 7mm SAUM in Remington model 7 as well. I have looked at a variety of bullets and going to go with my old stand by that I have used for years in my 7mm Rem Mag, 150 grain Sierra boat-tail Game Kings. Sierra boat-tails have always shot so well for me throughout the years and always put animals on the ground. I wouldn't hesitate to use the 160's as well. Good luck.

Fred III, Nice buffalo!

One of the things that I noticed about my 7SAUM is that it shot everything well. I don't think there is a bad choice.

Whenever I think of elk, and 7mm cartridges, my brain automatically registers ...."160 Nosler Partition".

Seen too many bulls take a rapid snooze after receiving one.

It'll work on everything else ,too.

How bout anything you put in it then place it in the correct place..

Kind of a late response, but yeah. The 140gr TTSX works great out of a M7 in 7mmSAUM. It's my sons rifle but I felt like using it. Wish I had my own. He has used it with 160gr partitions on bear though that load would have worked just fine on elk too.

Is the 7 saum model 7 like the others with the short barrel? If so, what kind of velocities are you getting with it? I would think that velocities would suffer.

145 LRX

Mine has a 22" barrel. I'm getting around 2900 fps w/ 160 grain Accubonds.

I have a NIB 7 stainless/synthetic in 7mm SAUM that is surplus to my needs. $585 shipped in the contiguous 48 or $600 to AK/HI. If you'd be interested, I also have a NIB 7 laminated stock and an "as new" 673 laminated stock.

The The Remington 7s in 7mm and 300 SAUM have 22" barrels.

I have used all three, and quit using Barnes Bullets several elk ago, but am still using the AB and Partition. Both are outstanding bullets. In fact my last bull, (last year) was killed with the 160 AB great penetration and perfect performance.

Use a partition on elk. Or an accubond
