Been using a 7 SAUM for 5 years now with great results. Before bullets and powder went extinct I had tried 140, 154, 162, 168 and 180s using 4831sc, Reloader 22, Reloader 19, Reloader 16, Varget and Enduron 7977 all with varying degrees of success. After extensive testing I chose Enduron 7977...

Thanks! Used these primers because they were available. Normally would have used Federal Gold Match.

There is certainly a small hole blown out in the side/edge of the primer. What would be the cause?

Working up a load for a 308 gas gun. 42 grains of Enduron 4166 Winchester Large Magnum Rifle Primer 168 gr SMK COAL 2.800 Shot a total of 22 rounds at the range today. Picking up the brass and found this primer seemed to have ruptured out the edge. This is a new experience for me and I am...

Alright, so here is the reply from Legacy Sports We can process a Return Authorization to have our gunsmith inspect your firearm. Please be advised, hand loads can/will void any warranty for you. hmmm...my warranty is void because I load ammunition?

For sure! May need to bring this rifle over to you guys. We changed the scope out and put the Nightforce bases, Warne rings and the Nightforce scope on it. It shot better, but not great. Do you think you guys could make this thing shoot like it should for a decent price?

It is Turkey season here in Tennessee :)

Optic is a Vortex Crossfire 2, Warne Rings in Picatinny bases. He asked me today if I would take the Nightforce off of my 7 SAUM and put it on his rifle to see if the optic was the problem... I love the kid to death but taking the optic off my SAUM... that is a hard decision!

Good idea

I wish... these were at 100 yards, off of a bench and with a solid rest.

:) Sorry for the confusion, accidentally posted the pic before I finished writing the rest of the post.

Trying to find out what is wrong with my Son’s 6.5 Grendel. The above picture is 5 3 shot groups at 100 yards. We have checked the action screws, free floated the barrel, lapped the bore and tried a dozens of loads from 90 grain Speer TNT’s to 129 grain Hornady’s. This thing just does not...

#1- Buy a GOOD rifle and a GREAT optic. #2- The journey is THE fun... there really is no “destination.” #3- Buying quality components makes the process soooooo much easier. #4- DO NOT spend so much money and time on stuff that you cannot go HUNTING!
