[QUOTE="JuddL, post: 2428190, member: 110787"] Look at the cases…the saum is going to be faster. It’s just data and numbers and it’s got a bigger boiler room. I typically pick a bullet and then build around it with velocity expectations. I had a saum and will have another (a friend wanted it so he has it). My thoughts 3k is a magic’ish number for most rounds. Saum 22-24” barrel you can get the 156’s there, 18-20” you can get the 140’s there and 16-18” you can get the 120’s there. You’ve got a 260ai and you’ll likely not do much faster with a cut down saum, but that’s not why you do it…you’re going to end up with a much handier rifle and lose nothing to your long barreled 260. My opinion, worth nothing…pick what you want, you’re paying for it. I think a short barreled 6.5 saum is a perfect medium game rig. Also, mine was 16” running 123 scenars at 3060 and are nasty on everything they are run thru. [/QUOTE]
