[QUOTE="ShortRangeShooter, post: 3074998, member: 129478"] Found this thread about a month ago and decided to try converting 7mm SAUM to 6.8 Western. It worked beautifully. I sized ADG 7mm SAUM brass with a Redding 6.8 Western FL die with the expander in it. Loaded it with the .277 170gr Berger and 51.5gr of IMR 4350. Shot about an inch 5 shot group at 100 yards. Once fired brass has a 35 degree shoulder but I might need to trim the neck a little before I load it again. Thanks for the advice! I have a relatively inexpensive setup: Browning X-Bolt Hunter with a 24 inch 7.5 twist barrel, and a Trijicion Huron 3x12 scope. Didn't want to spend too much on messing around with a new cartridge. It'll work fine for target shooting and hunting Southeastern hogs/whitetails. [/QUOTE]
