[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1321634, member: 12282"] [b]Re: Anybody shooting 195 EOL in 7SAUM w/ H-1000?[/b] Just the experience of one guy talking here -- me... I screwed a heavy Shilen Match grade barrel on my Short action savage (and SA Savages are generous). Had it throated to a dummy cartridge with a 180 gr Berger Hunting VLD. This was done to get the gun to be able to use the magazine. If you are willing to single feed and pull the bolt to eject a live round, then other rules apply. The bullet was quite a ways inside the case. I never got it to shoot well enough to do 500+ yard work. About 1" at 100 was the best I could get, and that was erratic. tried the Hornady ELD-X 180, with same disappointment. The 168's would shoot somewhat better, best were .8", but still erratic. Tried H100, H4831SC, Norma MRP, one other I thnk.... I went through around 400 rounds. Switched to Norma Brass too (if you need brass, PM me) Never got things to work. I gave up. Rebarreled to 6.5 Creed for the SA. Plan to purchase a LA and another 7 SAUM barrel eventually. I too love that cartridge. But it frustrated the heck out of me. I have Forster Match dies, and I will try the SAUM again, but intend to play with some other guns for a while first.... Dunno if I can recommend the SA for long range stuff..... [/QUOTE]
