Longtine this is great info thank you for sharing! I remember you saying you had a good load for one of your 7saums with the 143hh what was your oal with that load?
2.183" in my notes
It was the barrel I robbed lol.
Thanks! I have an extra anti x short action and I was thinking about one of these 7saum barrels. I know they run way better on a medium or long action but I need to use this for something
Use a long. You won't get the length you needThanks! I have an extra anti x short action and I was thinking about one of these 7saum barrels. I know they run way better on a medium or long action but I need to use this for something
I've shot atleast 600 to 700 with none yet.
Just fixing to get into the third firing. On second I did not still was fine. I'll let ya know after three. Understand I dedicate 150 brass to each rifle. That's 600 rounds to get through. Yep I'm still on new brass. I'm about 600 rounds fired on these four rifles.
Another delima……I'm running out of 180's. Got to slow my roll or find more.

I'm going to reiterate .......this load is ONLY! for a Defiance LA action and a Proof Research 8.4" Twist Factory Chambered Barrel. This is not for another action, a proof chambered by anyone else other than Proof. This is for their SAAMI chamber and their Freebore they use (Which is long). If use anyone else's chambered barrel you will need to develop the powder charge yourself for that chamber cut.
COL of 3.027, appears all 3 of your rifles Love a decent jump on that 180 Hybrid. I haven't tried seating that deep yet
0.004" into lands. I've checked 4 different action/barrel setups and all but one are the same measure CBTO and the one that is off is only off by 0.001".
CBTO is 2.284" and COAL is 3.027".
For what ever reason Proof puts out their prefits cut themselves with a longer Freebore.
I just checked my Proof cut by Kelby and their FB is 0.038" shorter. So I will have to redo the powder charge some.
