[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 945096, member: 23486"] The 7SAUM is a fantastic, efficient little cartridge (this if coming from a guy who is no 7mm advocate). The problems with the saum are: 1- As stated before, finding a factory rifle in 7SAUM is very difficult & customs are expensive & take a good while to build/deliver. 2- Brass: It has been quite hard to find, even more so with the 6.5saum developement. Norma seems to be making it by the truckload now & I believe there is some Nosler running around out there now. You had asked about the 300WSM in a short action rifle. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the the 300wsm, nothing. On the other hand, it is hampered by the short action of the rifle. With long, heavy for caliber bullets you will have to single sling them. With practice, it's really no big deal. (I didn't believe this years ago). All around, as stated before the 300wm just might be the way to go. Plenty of power, several accurate rifles available in this caliber & a ton of support from the ammo side. How can you go wrong? I'd recommend either buying one with a brake or installing one after purchase then hit the range & practice, Practice, PRACTICE. t [/QUOTE]
