Hello all,
I've got some parts on order for a new rifle build and I need a little info on the aforementioned calibers. I am wondering if anyone has some velocity data on the 7 SAUM or the 7-300 WSM in shorter barrels. I'm specifically looking for data out of 24 or 26 inch barrels. I have a #4.5 contour 1-8 twist, 5R rifled krieger stainless barrel and I'm building it on a stainless short action Tikka T3 and I'm going to put a thunder beast suppressor on it. I would like to shoot 183 gr SMKs for target shooting and I'm thinking 175gr ELDX or LRABs and I am hoping to get 2800fps or a little more with a 24 inch barrel. I'm trying to figure out if I can do that with one of those calibers.
Any info is helpful.
