[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 1516950, member: 376"] The question is... how the barrel life stacks up against the .284 Winchester in a competitive format? Relatively few guys actually run the SAUM, unless it's a dedicated 1k-only gun or they shoot at *really* windy ranges - but those that do seem to really like it. Seeing as our 'local' range has a bit of a rep for wind, it's been crossing my mind. That brass cost though... holy schnikey. 50 pcs for a hunter isn't that bad... but when you start looking in terms of 200-300+ pieces for a multi-day event... ouch. Not even remotely the biggest expense in the sport, but still enough to give a person pause. I've been thinking pretty hard about getting a couple extra bolt heads for the Bighorn Origin action I have on order... considering either a 7 SAUM or a 7 SS or SST for the occasional hunting, maybe some of the extended LR field / PRS matches.
