[QUOTE="INTJ1, post: 1918645, member: 34312"] Yeah I get all that, but on the whole, the 300 WSM seems to win more vs the 7mms and 6.5s in LR BR. The little 6mms are first, the 300 WSM next, then all the others. I run a 6BRA and just this year built a 300 WSM again for when conditions aren't as good. Guys have been trying to make a 7 work for a long time. When I shot in the mid 2000s in windy Tucson, no one seemed to have a 7 that would keep up with my 300 WSM or my friend's Patriot. When I came back three seasons ago here in the PNW it was 90% 6mm BR and its variants. I don't know why the 7s aren't dominant in LR BR. The 7 SAUM seems about perfect. Maybe like Bart said the 30 Cal bullets are more easy to make balanced. It's hard to run a 300 WSM light gun as fast as the 6s because it recoils back a lot farther in the bags, which makes it slower. So a 7 SAUM that was as accurate would be a definite sweet spot. Out here it's almost all 6s except for a few of us knuckleheads have an occasional 300 or a 6.5 when we get lesser conditions. One guy does well with a 6.5x47 as his only gun but he only shoots 600 yds. We'd have to revoke your BR credentials if you brought Creed to the line..... ;) A guy here worked very hard to make a 7mm-08 IMP with small primer pocket. It looked great on paper but couldn't shoot the heavier bullets. Maybe your 7 SAUM will be the one to beat start a resurgence of 7mms. [/QUOTE]
