7 wsm or 7 saum

[7mm man]

I run 175 Accubonds in my 7 SAUM. 64.5gr of Retumbo gets me 2875 fps on a 24" barrel and under 1/2" groups pretty consistently at 100 yards. Taking it to Colorado in two weeks trying to fill my cow moose tag.

3051 fps with a 175gr is pretty impressive for the 7 SAUM. Must be a long action. You loving that garmin?

Remy short action

Yes I really like the Garmin

I think you can get a cheek riser like that from Defensive Edge.

If velocity is what your after, the 7mm PRC should outrun the 7mm RSAUM with that added case volume.

This is true. But when I had my 7 prc I also had a 7Saum. I loaded 175 EH in both rifles with RL 26 in both and the 7 prc was only 20-30 fps more velocity over the 7 saum with grains more powder. 7 prc was 2970 fps 24" bbl , 7 saum 2950 fps 24" bbl.
I still have the 7 saum and the 7 prc is gone and not because it was a bad rifle I just like the 7 saum better , almost the same performance with less powder is a no brainer.
My brass which is ADG is on its seventh loading for my saum and pockets are as tight as they were the first time I seated a primer.

The PRC is a little long for its girth, in my opinion.
I've got one, but if I did it again I'd go 7 Max instead.
Trying out the Mega now.

..the entire SAUM line of cartridges is much better than anyone could imagine...as accurate as any .308 caliber or .284 caliber cartridges I've ever been around. Dam shame they don't get the notoriety they deserve...
