Do we think on here that the SAUM will hold up sales-wise better than the 7mmWSM did? I've seen one or two clean-condition used rifles chambered for the 7mmSAUM.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Yep, that magic powder is the ticket.
Basically just a bunch of leftovers mixed together at the perfect ratio to form the ideal combination of speed and accuracy. Maser told me how to do it.

Bob, I'm gonna have Sam and Rancho down on me for this...but at least one of us thinks the 7 SAUM is in its death throes ( so is the 7WSM for that matter) at least as factory offerings...... Now....with a little of that "magic powder" I might change my tune.....  Ingwe

Ingwe: Too bad;both good cartridges if you like short/rotund. I feel a 280 coming on......I like tall/thin

I honestly don't care what the manufacturers do or don't do in their utterly schizo marketing departments.. They could all quit making the .30-06 tomorrow and it wouldn't really bother nor surprise me. I just know that there's plenty of used rifles out there along with reamers, dies, and stashes of brass to get my fix on whatever harebrained scheme I come up with.

I wouldn't care either and I want a 7 SAUM/WSM or could even manage to slum a 280AI barrel on the Horse Beater.
You scare any fish?
(And I might do logan again tomorrow AM)

Fish laugh at me.

Depending on today's inebriation factor, I'm thinking early.
Man I hate this heat.

You heathen!
Range was good, got a little breezy but wasn't too bad. Bob got freaky on the 430 gong.
I don't think there would be much difference between the two?

OK, two Beltian Whites later... and the world is a kinder, gentler place... Specially in this friggin' heat.... You always know when some azzwipe is not from here, when its 90 degrees out and they say " Beautiful day!" If its too warm for a down vest...its too warm... I got in a little range time myself last week before the heat, stumbled on a wicked good load for my .223 using 760, of all things...( JB gave me a couple jugs and I thought I'd try to use it up somehow...now its in the "favored" stash...) Figgered that was the case between to 2 short/fat 7s.... Ingwe

Beer is one of the greatest things on Earth!
I'm like you. 20-60 degrees is perfect. Anything over 80, no thanks.
What bullet outta the .223?
