I'm asking as I don't know the answer and am genuinely curious.....what are the benefits of SAUM over WSM? Why would a person pick one or the other in any given caliber?

Good brass availability is surely one aspect of this answer?

I think I remember reading neck length and case length being a factor. Brass quality was also as you already mentioned.

I'm just posting numbers below that might help distinguish the advantage or disadvantage of each.

7 SAUM
Neck length - 0.311"
Case length - 2.035"
Case volume - 73.6 gr (H2O)

7 WSM
Neck length - 0.242"
Case length - 2.100"
Case volume - 81.0 gr (H2O)
 
Ok, Back on Topic.
Got an encouraging response to share from Alpha Munitions.


David,

"Thank you for reaching out. We really like the SAUM as it's been proven in competition as well as hunting. We will be looking at magnum bolt face cases in 2024 and SAUM will definitely be in the discussions."

Best,

We are fully stocked in 7 SAUM if anyone is looking for loaded ammo or brass. We currently have 31 bullet options available.

If there is a big enough demand for the 300 SAUM, I have already talked to ADG regarding a run of them. Minimum order would be 20,000 pcs and would need to get in line. If there is enough demand for it, I can organize a buy.

Update: Interesting reply to my e-mail request.

Hey David - Thanks for writing in to Remington.

We're fans of the SAUM cartridges too. I'd encourage you to sign up for emails on the pages linked below, and we'll send you a note when component brass is available. Our factory has been working 24/7 the last several years to make all our products and make sure you can find what you need.

Thanks -
