Need Your 7 SAUM Load Data

7 saum load data for you. This was a new rifle build put into action this past month and a half. 6 animals
58.5 - 60.5 rl 26 with 175 eldx shot a consistent 3/4 group. 2825 fps on 22 inch benchmark barrel. 61 opened up. Ran 210 primers. 215 primers out the gate had worse groups. Deff suggest standard primer over mag primer.
4831sc shot ok. But not as good at rl26.

Going to try h1000 just for data - upcoming.
Maybe 4350.

Also just a note going to be trying going back to 160 NP for close up woods shooting under 150 yards. Really under 75 yards.


the eldx worked ok on some distance animals but I really didn't like up close shots. Animals were whitetails. Not gave up on them just want to have options. Further testing needed for final vote on eldx.

Don't shoot the messager on eldx. First time really using them. Just thought terminal performance wasn't like what I'm use to for woods up close hunting. Previous load for 20 years was 180 interlock 30-06 for 300 yards and in on deer.
 
Well we now have two 7 saums in the house hold.
Mine is a crazy accurate 24" bbl I'm running 61.5 gr of rl 26 for 2940 fps with 175 elite , newest one is a t3 with a 26" bbl and it likes N565 65 gr with 175 elite for 3030 fps.
Both ADG brass and fed 210 for a fuse.
