[QUOTE="dwm, post: 5156, member: 1136"] Ok, so here is the scoop. This started out as a new Rem 700 BDL SS in 7mm SAUM. I was shocked by the BDL synthetic stock and had to do something about it. I had a Rem 700 VS SF in 22-250 with the nice HS Precision Sendero like stock. So I took the HS Precision stock off the 22-250 and bedded the 7mm SAUM in it. Set the trigger down to between 1 1/2 and 2 pounds. Resized 25 Rem cases, turned the necks just a bit and put some H4831SC and Hornady SSTs in them to break in the barrel. (I have a bunch of SSTs.) It was raining lightly on and off and quite windy while I was at the range. Shot and cleaned, shot and cleaned, etc. I was surprised by how well this rifle shoots. No load development at all and I was getting 1/2 MOA or less at 50 yards with a brand new barrel. Hope this continues. This is to be my carry rifle, it has the narrow 24 inch stainless steel Rem BDL barrel with a little 3x9 on it with MIL-DOTs for now. It is quite light and the BDL barrel doesn't look bad in the SA Sendero stock either. Also, the BDL barrel cools faster than a Sendero barrel. This surpised me too. Recoil is considerably more than I expected. Probably because it is so light. I don't think my Rem 700 Sendero SF in 7mm RUM recoils much harder than this little SAUM with the small barrel on it. What do you guys think about 140 to 150 weight 7mm bullets out of a 7mm SAUM with a 24 inch barrel? Maybe 160s? The Hodgdon reloading data shows that a max load with a 150 is just short of 3000 fps... [/QUOTE]
