[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1261030, member: 4566"] I would get a 8 twist and consider ALL of them. The more variety you have to choose from the more likely you will find one YOU and the GUN will like. The 8 will shoot the 160 stuff fine and give you the option of 175-195 stuff. You like stuff to stay together and that is why I am guessing the Berger isn't mentioned. A 195 at SAUM launch velocity will hold together, has a huge BC AND will do a lot of damage. A 195 gr 7mm of any construction will penetrate deep and if its lightly constructed will do a lot of damage doing it. I just built a 7 SAUM on a Savage action and am fixing to work up loads. It's a 9 twist so I'm leaning towards the 180 but if it will shoot the 195 I will at least give it a run. Guys have issues with Bergers, SMKs and Amax because they run a shorter bullet like they would with a game designed bullet. Use the longest heaviest slug made and it will do the job. Bonded bullets use construction to penetrate, regular jacket stuff needs SD to work. [/QUOTE]
