[QUOTE="300magman, post: 517995, member: 24769"] I didn't really want to use the straight 7mm WSM because the extremely short neck makes it next to impossible to seat long VLD type bullets out far enough to not contact the neck/shoulder junction, even in "WSM" length actions. (And I don't want to use a long action) Also the straight WSM has a huge case capacity (81.5g if memory serves) which seems to be beyond what is necessary to get big VLDs up to the speeds I want to reach. As for the SAUM, I was sure that it was the smallest of the group...I have never formed a 7/300 so I can't say from experience what its case capacity is, but all the research I have done had lead me to believe that it was still larger than the SAUM (@ approx 73gr) I was hoping the 7/300 was in the middle of the two, and I wasn't really concerned about it not being a factory round, because from everything that I hear, neither is the 7mmSAUM anymore....though maybe new ammo will continue to be made for a time, even if new rifles aren't.
