Anyone shooting a 7 saum ? I'm looking for some info on a future project. This will be for 180 gr mostly with a side of 195 gr, if I get the itch. I'm leaning towards a long action for this build as it was suggested to me by a friend.

So that said, what do you guys have ?
What bullet are you using and what twist ?

Thanks in advance !

That had crossed my mind. I have a 280AI that is rather fun shoot, I'm running 140's in it now. When time allows, I may try some 160 class bullets this summer.

Till then I'm looking for info to launch big sleek 7mm bullets without burning big spoonfuls of powder at a time. grin

SAUM/280 propellant appetites are alike. The 280 boasts better brass,less bullschit and an extry round in the belly,as an absolute minimum. Hint.

Go 7-08 Fieldcraft,180 ELD's,Re-17 in Alpha brass and never fhuqking look back.

Hint............

what do you want to do with it?

I have a Rem M7 AWR in 7-SAUM. It tips 7#, 2oz scoped with a 3-10x40 VX3. It's my carry rifle, goat rifle, whatever abuse rifle. In this guise, the short action makes sense as it shaves an ounce or two off the package. Drops 140's and 160's into little 3/4" groups - plenty good for a lightweight mountain rifle.

I figure if you are loading 180's or 190's you've got to be looking at a long ranger. 28" bbl, heavy barrel, drive for max velocity in a long tube. Weight's probably not the same criteria I used. smile

So, what do you want to do with it?

What am I doing with it you ask ?

Well it will be a mid-weight hunter/steel banger . I practice with my 6x47L out to 750 and would like more bullet for beyond that.

A 21" Fieldcraft 7-08 will Smooch a 180 ELD and it's .796BC at 2600fps.

Hint..................

A 7 Shamu and ‘23 will get the 180 to 2,900. Makes a nice long range hunting rifle.
