[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2138636, member: 27307"] SAUM cases, whether 7mm or .300 are hard to find as stated several times above. But nearly everything in brass, bullets, powder and primers is difficult to locate in any quantities. In your situation there are three choices really: - Get on some classified ad forums and write 'WANTED', then state that you need some 7mm SAUM or .300 SAUM brass. Personally, I skip everything Nosler right now for brass, it's ridiculously overpriced. Chances are someone, somewhere has some bags of Remington stashed away from a few years ago. - Get on all the backorder lists you can find and keep looking for more lists. I've had this payoff in a couple of situations. - Roll your sleeves up and start converting some available brass to the cartridge you want to work with. Like you, I wanted to have a short action 7mm cartridge similar to the 7mm RSAUM. The 6.5 PRC will neck up just fine to take 7mm bullets. You can push the shoulder back on some of the 7mm WSM cases to achieve what you can call the 7mm Western. This solves the problem of not having cases and lets you make a 7mm short action case with a longer neck. [ATTACH type="full"]257707[/ATTACH] You can see in the photograph that there just isn't that much difference between the two cases. We had to do this when we first worked on the 6.5 GAP 4S cartridge case. The obvious choice was to buy 7mm RSAUM brass and neck it down then lightly turn the case necks for concentricity. We didn't create just a few cases either, we were competing with this case so we needed several hundred at a time. Unfortunately the timing on the 6.8 Western is poor in order to find any brass at all. Browning and Winchester will be producing loaded ammunition for the next few months before even considering a run of brass only. There is much more money in the loaded stuff! The case itself though will lend itself to necking up to the 7mm nicely. Embrace the process!:) [/QUOTE]
