[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2701744, member: 115819"] I built a 7 saum a couple years ago and it is really friendly and easy to work with. If you get the extended mag you’ll be able to do the 162 flawlessly. I shoot 180eldm among other things at 2.95” and I don’t lose anything meaningful in the case. Some guys get monster numbers when they load the saum long but I’m really happy with what I get. The saum has better brass options, longer barrel life, works great with non mag primers, uses less powder, kicks less, is truly 308 length, and many think it’s more accurate than the wsm. All while being only a couple fps behind the wsm. In a perfect world you can have access to a giant array of proven bullets. Right now it sucks, but 162 and 180 eldms show up with some regularity. I’ve been using hammers and they’re in stock amd tons of fun. I get 3230 with a 140g and some guys do better than that. 270 doesn’t do anything the 7mm doesn’t do. If you really wanted raw speed you could do 7-300wsm. Better brass than the original 7, longer neck. Almost certainly long for your action though. [/QUOTE]
