[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 562656, member: 12282"] Excellent advice I hope... I do not know if the Wyatts box can be used with a Savage SA without the services of a pretty good gunsmith. I'd rather avoid that. More over, I got out my calipers and brass last night and started measureing and reading. The SAUM brass is a tad shorter that the WSM. And the Savage SA seems to be generous. If my calculations are correct (which I will verify with a dummy round before I have the barrel made), I can get as much as .92" of exposed bullet into the magazine, and still get it to feed, and eject live rounds when necessary. .92 exposed sounds crazy long, but those long Bergers are crazy long too -- the 180 VLD in 7mm is over 1.5" long. That would put about .6"in the case, which would cost me some case capacity and speed. As noted, the WSM reputation for burning barrels is not something I like, and with a properly set up scope and rangefinder, its not initial velocity that matters as much as accuracy and down range speed. 7mm SAUM, here I come......
