[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1093940, member: 13833"] Not the way the saum is throated. You end up with the base of the bullet in the case taking up capacity (velocity) if they are throated correctly. Also, you are really handicapped with the 150 and 160 grainers that many people want to shoot now. You would have to have a throat which was under .100' which would put the bullet well into the case. The SS is throated at .175" and also has a longer neck than the saum (.320) The case capacity is not lost because the taper is less and the neck sharper. It is also more efficient with the short burning column. These are all reasons why it outperforms the saum and will do it in a shorter action...Rich [/QUOTE]
