[QUOTE="BuckeyeRifleman, post: 1807735, member: 110280"] Hey guys, wanted to say how much I really appreciate some of the excellent posts in this thread. I started it not knowing anything about the SAUM thinking 300 WSM was the obvious choice, but I think I’ve changed my mind and settled on the 7 SAUM. -Still a significant increase in power over the 6.5 Creedmoor -Longer case neck -fits better in a true short action with long, high BC bullets -Noticeably less recoil than the 300 WSM - Readily available high quality brass from multiple manufacturers. I’d have to scour the net to find 300 WSM Norma brass - Empirical evidence suggests the 7 SAUM is a bit easier to tune. - Pre fit barrels in the 22in length I want. Overall, based off that, 7 SAUM seems to be the logical choice. Not that the 300 WSM is a bad one, but for my needs, and the fact I’m trying to stick with a true short action, the 7 SAUM seems to have some noticeable advantages. [/QUOTE]
