I look for it as I feed two of them on a regular bases. It is very easy to find good shooting loads for the 300 SAUM with all the bullets I have tried and cases last a long time if you do not abuse them badly. PS I also see loaded ammo from Remington and Nosler.

Seems to be a hard one to come by and I am still needing one to complete a collection for a cartridge display I'm trying to make. You'll shoot your eye out

I have one in a Remington Model 7 stainless synthetic that I would be willing to part with. Shoot me a PM and we'll talk if you're interested.

Seems to be a hard one to come by and I am still needing one to complete a collection for a cartridge display I'm trying to make. I have four boxes of those rounds that I got when I worked for Remingtom. I took them thinking that maybe I'd buy a .300 SAUM one day but never did. My gf has a hunting rifle chambered in .375 SAM (wildcat) and I use the .300 SAUM cases to make handloads for her once I've fireformed the brass. She doesn't need 80 rounds for that little beast so send me your mailing address via PM and I'll send a round or two out to you using UPS ground with the ORM-D sticker. I'll use the company account so it won't cost you a penny. Here's what I have. Here are the .375 SAM cases on the right formed from the .300 SAUM cases on the left.
