7 SAUM vs 284 Win

[BrBa.]

I'm building on a origins Long action. My dream was a TL3 medium but this long action came up and I figured I'd have it would have a greater versatility for now. I am an experienced reloader hence why I chose one of these two. For hunting I was contemplating the high 160 &170gr. for target I was definitely looking at the 180s

Is it a .478 or a .535 bolt face? If .478, you could do the .284 Win since you already have brass for it (Lapua will make more at some point), or you might consider 280 AI for a bit more speed.

This is a very sweet hunting stick. I'm blaming you now for my trip to the poor house. . Need details….. I emailed Greg at SPR yesterday afternoon. He has Nanook LA's in stock.

I'm committed now. Another 2 boxes on the way.

Yep, you have to take advantage of it while you can. I have enough for the life of my barrel.

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...

My 284 coming in at 5.6 lbs and pushing 168 Berger's at 2930 fps. The more I hunt with this rifle the more I only hunt with this rifle. Quickly has become my go to rifle. Low recoil and great accuracy. I've taken several elk and deer from 350 to 640 yards with zero complaints.

..both great cartridges..but too much anxiety and baggage..for hunting the plain Jane ho-hum 7mm mag will work just fine..

Not if your vertically challenged like myself.
Short arms and LA don't mix.

For hunting purposes you'll never even know you fired tge shot..

Hard pressed to beat the performance per grain, efficiency, & shoot ability of the 7 SAUM compared to any other 7mm.

Just sayin.

YMMV ….. but I doubt it !

My problem is I'm on the need to try something different kick. I doubt I will get any better performance and efficiency than my 280AI, but my hope is the 7SAUM will work a bit better in a shorter barrel. That's my thinking and justification, and I get to take the long road to build something different.

Same mind set and mine is in the making with LPR.
