Hi all, I'm currently stationed overseas and looking to get an order for a 7SAUM (Short Action) placed so it's ready when I get back next year. This rifle will be a 80% hunting rifle up to elk, and 20% LR out to 1500+. I'm trying to determine what freebore I should get. From looking at previous threads, it seems the .188fb works well for this round at the 2.95 COAL limit. I'm mainly interested in shooting the 180gr Hybrid, but could also envision the 168gr LRX or 175gr ELD-X.
1. Are more people running the sammi .090fb or .188fb? For those with the .188, how far off the lands are you with a 2.95 COAL?
2. Could someone confirm the CBTO measurement of a 2.95 COAL 180 Hybrid? I'm getting 2.191 CBTO with sammi brass specs. (Berger listed .768 BTO, 1.527 OAL, sammi 2.035 CL)
3. Does anyone have a junk sammi piece of brass they'd be willing to load up a dummy round with a 180 hybrid? I'll buy.
