[QUOTE="Ucsdryder, post: 2268538, member: 94543"] I’ve spent the summer developing a load for my 7saum with a 20” barrel. The gunsmith screwed up and throated it long so my bullets have to jump a long way. I’m shooting 180eldm out to 1000 yards and the results have been great. I feel extremely confident in the load I’ve developed. It’s holding 1650ft/lbs and 2000fps at 1000 yards at hunting elevation, farther than my max effective range. that being said, I picked up a 1st season rifle tag in Colorado for bull elk. It’s in a GMU that is about 60% above timberline, perfect for the 180s. I’m thinking that having a second bullet, something like a partition wouldn’t be a bad idea to have in the gun, in case I come across a big bull in the timber and need to shoot head on, quartering, etc. Thoughts on having 2 magazines, 1 with a controlled expansion and then another for sitting ridge tops, etc?
