[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 823268, member: 105"] I've been shooting SAUM's since Remington introduced them and have found Varget to be a great powder for them and I use "standard" (non-magnum primers). My favorites have been the Federal Gold Medal Match primers. Watch out for case lengths. Remington produced a few batches of cases that were a lot longer than the published "trim to" lengths. I've also found that best accuracy has often occurred at about 1-1.5gr above published maximum loads. I don't in ANY way recommend that you exceed published maximum loads but I kept hearing of people doing it with their SAUM's and decided to try it and after careful load development, found that they were right in my rifles and I've owned a few SAUM's over the past few years. Velocities are hard to believe and I've been called a liar a few times so I no longer post them because it seems to hurt the feelings of other magnum owners. LOL By the way every SAUM I ever owned had a 22 inch barrel except an LTR chambered in 300SAUM which had a 20 inch barrel and for some CRAZY reason I sold that rifle and it was the most accurate "magnum" rifle I've ever owned... Wish I had it back... :( [/QUOTE]
