20 inch 7 SAUM and 180s.

[haisardao]

I'd like to hear experience on what folks here are getting out of a short barrel 7 SAUM, build
In a LA, shooting 180s, Hybrids or ELDs. If possible please share your recipe. I understand all rifles are different and need to Taylor the load to the rifle.
Thanks

What are your plans with a short barrel saum? Why not a prc?
Im my opinion, going shorter either requires more horsepower or lighter bullets to get the job done without worry. 20" 7rm here and its 2947 with hybrid 180. 2980 with 162s. No real disadvantage to build weight being a long action.
69.6 h1000 162g eldx
Fill it up with h1000 in the 180.

I stuck with the 162 because of how precise it was with 1st round cold barrel, clean or dirty.

Thanks, I have a 24 inch 7 saum that loves 162 eldx and H4831SC.
This rifle will be a deer blind rifle supressed x TX, shots inside 300 yards, so I guess anything in the 2750 area would work well.
Thanks

There's a higher node but this one shoots in the .3's-.4's religiously and it's hard to break away from that in search of more velocity. Will explore n565 this winter in hopes of 75-100fps gain.
