[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 1768962, member: 13311"] I would like to see a longer version of the SAUM, or maybe the RPM, that would fit a long action mag without getting in the 80 grain powder capacity. But real performance wise, the 150 vld at 3200 or the 170 at 3050 from a 24-26 inch barrel without the true need of a brake in a hunting weight rifle looks like a pretty big jump in horsepower from my 6.5 140 gr@2940. I loved the 300wm I built a few years ago (sold it for big profit) but without a brake it was pretty violent, and I don’t really need a 215-230 grain bullet to get my work done. My 284 runs a 180vld @2930 so my 7mm base is covered unless I burn copious amounts of powder. I’ve built 26 noslers and hated them. 25cal I love but bullet selection just isn’t there for bigger hogs at distance. This build is somewhat senseless I know, but I just want a fancier can opener.
