[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 2785339, member: 101262"] In my experience you’re gunna be running a pretty hot load to get 2900- 2950 with a 180 and a 24”. 162-168 not a problem. My 24” bartlein likes 180’s around 2775-2800 which is a bit slower than most people run them but I think most are over pressure. I’m also using h4350 which isn’t gunna get the highest velocities but it shoots the tightest. Mines on an origin long action. I think you will love the rifle and the 7 saum. Recoil is not much greater then my 6.5 creedmoor and much less than my 300 prc. I find it to have a great balance as you’re also finding. That being said my next barrel will more than likely be a 7-6.5prc also known as the 7prcw. It’s nearly the same as the saum and brass is everywhere and it shoots according to Erik cortina haha. Keep looking for brass as you build your components for the build and you MIGHT have some within the time frame to get the other components. Or build the the 7-6.5prc/7prcw [/QUOTE]
