Check out this awesome ram that Carter got with his resident tag he drew. I finished a 25 saum for him just weeks before the hunt. When it started shooting in the .1s and .2s right off the bat he knew he wanted to use it on this hunt. He went MILES back in on horse. He shot it at 250 yds and it dropped on the spot. 133 berger made soup out of the vitals.

Heres a 4 shot .673"/.151 moa group at 425 yds with 133 bergers at just under 3000 fps. Barrel hasnt sped up yet.

I spun a 25 saum barrel up for myself and its shooting like this also with the same load. STUPID accurate. 1-2" 5 shot groups at 625 yds and .1s at 100.

Congrats on an epic hunt.

Awesome shooting, could you give some specs on the cartridge? Overall length? Freebore? I'm wanting to build a 25saum to run in a short action.
 
That is pretty impressive! Not familiar with that case. What are the average charge weights and barrel twist? I love all things .25!
