[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 3012119, member: 68875"] I would take the 300WSM off the menu for a true SA. If you want to shoot heavies, they are really going to be stuffed way down in the case taking up powder space,and will be pretty slow out of the gate. With the 160gr minimum bullet requirement, that leaves the 6.5mms out of the equasion as well, since Matrix doesn't make the 160 VLD any longer. That leaves 7mms. 7SS would be my first choice. The heavies would still be stuffed down a bit, but a 168-184 should still work well. I would steer clear of the 190-195s. You won't see a benefit with them due to the lower MV. I run a 184 in my 24" @ 2916fps w. RL26. H1000 gets them to 2820fps, and N565 get them to 2868fps. 7SAUM would be a very close second. If there is ADG brass available now, jump on it while it lasts. There is also the 7Max (Sherman Max). It is a 7SAUM Imp 40°. You can use 7SAUM brass and fire form. If you can fit a 7SAUM in a SA, the Max works too, and gains you some extra MV. [/QUOTE]
