Back on topic !! Let's see those SAUM builds.![]()
Great thread... might as well keep it alive. I'm about to get a 7 saum build started with very similar specs. How is the 18" barrel performing velocity-wise? I'd like to do the same but have been leaning toward the 20".7SAUM

I personally think 20" is the Goldilocks length for the 7…..could even go 22" and still be ok with a suppressor. Either way you will love it.Great thread... might as well keep it alive.

I'm still working up with a ladder test. I'll know more this weekend. I went with 18" based on a few different considerations. Bullet weight / velocity to get the required terminal performance required, system weight, length, & balance with suppressor,Great thread... might as well keep it alive.

Makes sense. It'll be handy for sure, and ~3000 fps should be able to reach out a ways. Looking forward to hearing about the 300 saum as well. There doesn't seem to be as many out there.I'm still working up with a ladder test. I'll know more this weekend. I went with 18" based on a few different considerations.

Overall intended use. I'm anticipating I'll be able to achieve 3000+ fps. with the 147's.
Everything else is working out perfectly for me.
Currently building a 300 SAUM twin to the 7.
Same components with a longer barrel & different stock color. Everything is on order or in hand.![]()
Nice grouping, The 6.5 WOWI'm shooting two SAUM these days, 6.5 and 7mm. They pack a punch for their size. Here a couple of pictures and groups. The one with no label is my 6.5 with 156 Bergers. The one with the goat is my 7 SAUM, the other one is the 6.5.
I'm getting 2900 fps with 162 ELDX in the 7 saum and 3000 fps in the 6.5 with 156s.
Here is my 7 SAUM, and my first mule deer taken with it. Love it, but too **** expensive to shoot.To help give people information on
What's Special about a SAUM?
I'd like to keep this thread about the SAUM,s only that utilize headstamped
Brass in 6.5, 7, & 300 SAUM.
I'd like to see Rifle build pics guys are using chambered in SAUM.
Also include some positive information in regards to the benefits & Performance you've experienced from your SAUM rifles, to help introduce & promote the SAUM to others.
As well as highlighting any advantages you attribute to the cartridge itself.
ie: overachieving, easy to load, versatile,
Inherently accurate, etc.
This is to piggy back off of another thread I started recently to help promote continued support of a cartridge that performs really well, & deserves to have more Brass options made available.
Help Keep the SAUM's Alive !!!
Thank you for your support.
Now share your Great pics & Experience of your favorite SAUM.
