[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 514644, member: 10723"] I own a 7mm Rem Mag and a 7mm SAUM, so I can give you some data on them. I have not reloaded for or shot a 7mmWSM. With a 7mm SAUM you can come very close to matching the 7mm Rem Mag with bullets in the 140-160 weight range. With heavier bullets I think the 7mm Rem Mag should hold an advantage. My 7mm SAUM is chamber in a 700 Remington rifle with a 24 inch barrel. So with a 26 inch barrel you should be able to best my velocities by 50-150 ft/sec. I have been able to exceed 3130 ft/sec with a 140 grains Nosler Accubond and a 140 Barnes TSX bullet. With a 26 inch barrel you should be able to exceed 3200 ft/sec without a great deal of difficulty. With 160 grain TSX bullets I have gotten 2950 ft/sec without difficulty. Again with a 26 inch barrel you should be able to reach 3050 ft/sec or more. [/QUOTE]
