I did a quick preasure test with the 7mmSAUM and the 162 amax, loaded from 57gr - 59.5gr and velocites accheaved where good. 2960-3157fps....But the 59.5 had a tight bolt lift, extractor mark and is to hot to get the brass to last (was a hot day as well)
So have loaded more at 57.5 & 58gr to test groups.....they got 3080 & 3110fps

The down side appears to be barrel life with the HOT loads, some of the target boys with the 6.5x284 are getting 2-300 less shots before the throat is fried.....but that was with hot loads so hope its not to bad with averagely hot loads smile
