Sorry about the mistake on the 3400 fps with 140. He said it as 3300 fps which is still on the fast side. 3300 should be possible . I had a 270 wsm that would do 3200fps in a tikka with factory 140 ab federal.

3,300 is better, but is still about 100fps over what I'd be comfortable with in a 24" barrel. That's actually a fairly stout speed for a 24" 7mmRM with 140's.

I'd be quite happy with 3,150 or even 3,100 for a 139/140 gr bullet out of a 24" barrel. Hell, I'd be happy with 3,000 and good accuracy, I don't sweat velocity too much though either, reliability, accuracy, then velocity is priority for me.

From my notes...Remington M7 AWR, 22" bbl.

6/30/13 7mm SAUM Accubond 140 H4831sc 64.5 64.5 Rem Mag Rifle 2.800 N/A 5 3000 3003, 2985, 3038: SUPERB Accuracy. 1.5" 5 shot group at 200

7mm SAUM Nosler E-Tip 150 Magnum 69.5 Rem Mag Rifle 2.750 N/A 5 2835 2830, 2838: 1/2" at 200 yards. Yeah. 1/2". Superb all the way around.

10/15/11 7mm SAUM Barnes TTSX 150 Hunter 59.0 53 60 Rem Mag Rifle 2.750 N/A 8 2891 2923, 2856, 2858, 2889, 2928, 2882, 2902, 2893: 1.25", 8-shot group

As an aside, Remington 160gr. Partitions - Premium Factory Loads gave me 2,950 and very sticky bolt lift. None of my loads exhibited this kind of pressure.

As an aside, the 140gr. AB / 64.5gr. H4831 is what I used on my Mountain Goat.

[Linked Image]

Impact was just behind the right shoulder at 130 yards, exiting just a hair in front of the left shoulder. There was about an 8"x14" blood jello splatter at the impact point. Impact velocity is estimated at 2,750 fps.

[Linked Image]

All in all, it's incredibly impressive. That bullet travelled through about 20" of goat. It "barely" exited as far as I could tell. The exit wound was largely nonexistent, just a bare 1/2" blip out.

I have that same ammo, haven't shot it yet, I wonder how my Ruger MKII will like it. I'll have to shoot a few and just take it apart if it's too hot.

Maybe that's why I got such a good deal on them. grin 5 boxes for $143.75 shipped to my door, maybe I should just take them apart and make my own loads with the Partitions and not even worry about shooting them.

yup in 7mm 168gr, I've got a box on my bench at home and more at the shop. Just sent a bunch downrange yesterday in my 260/129gr and have shot 150's in a 270WSM. Impressive bullet so far

Good to know they're working their way north.

I have a few pages of reloading info if you are interested. Not mine, but collected from the web. I found the 7 Saum super easy to load for so did not do much experimenting myself.
