[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 2087586, member: 66495"] Consider the 7saum, but only if you build it on a long action, and have it chambered with extra freebore. The person chambering will pick the reamer for the bullet you want to shoot. I believe mine has a freebore of .23”. I’m getting 2980 FPS with a 26” barrel, 175eldx, and 58.5 gr of h4831sc. This is a light load honestly. Not a single sign of pressure, and I have 12 reloads on some of my Norma brass. Extremely accurate. Best group to date was a 10 shot group, that measured 9 1/2” at 1501 yards. It’s a very efficient cartridge that will kill everything you want out to 1000+. Here’s a pic of my saum next to a 7 mag, both loaded with the 175eldx. The extra freebore lets you load them long, to fit extra boom boom powder. Here’s a whitetail I took at 809 yards this year with it. Bullet exited the other side. [ATTACH type="full"]243704[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]243707[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
