7 SAUM has proven itself in F-Class, but you better use darn good bullets.

Once you cross 1.4k yds the heavy weights really show benefits, but to see them you have to shoot them and ranges for distances longer than 1k yd RANGES which are hard to find at place that offers that distance. It takes a while for most guys to figure out they need a crazy high MOA rail, and then to figure out the bullets are coming in at a steep angle so calling & adjusting your hits is squirrely. I have a 1 mile camera system, but I still prefer shooting steel plates out to 1,000 with white paint and a water Mark & center line

I use a 6 Creed for anything under 1k, and am building a 7 SAUM for higher winds, and further reach work... but I’ll go bigger if I exceed 1.4k as a normal range.
338 Edge is good, but ELR means .4 for the most part these days - then you need a special lathe for the bigger barrels, and those rifles are heavy as snot.
