SAUM’s Share yours from Hunting or Comp. Pics Heavy !!

This thread is going to brutal on the bank account. I doubt most are SAAMI chambers so how much freebore did you chamber the 7 SAUM to run 180gr Hybrids?
It's definitely longer than saami, not sure how but I made a dummy round and gave it to my gunsmith and he just chambered it accordingly haha. My COAL is 3.034" and that's with a .020-.025" jump.
 
I have to stop looking at these SAUM threads... there is a 7 or 25 SAUM build calling my name....
I was thinking about doing a 25 saum also.

Great Pics & Info Guys !!!!
Keep it coming. !!

I'd also like to hear each of your thoughts in regards to what you are experiencing about the SAUM Cartridge Performance itself.

To me the 7saum is one of few cartridges where
Apparently thru design & application everything comes together making it a uniquely Overachieving Cartridge in many respects.

Recoil is about the same with the heavies in the 6.5 given similar rifle weight. What I like the most of the 7 SAUM is ability to shoot the heavy 175-180 class bullets. Within the distance you specified I'm not sure the critter could tell the difference.
On the other hand, that 6.5 feels lonely and needs a bigger brother next to it 🤣
 
I have 2 SAUMs built by GA Precision and love them.

First is a 6.5GAP4S (aka 6.5 SAUM), #16 Extreme Hunter. Bought in 2013. Antelope, mule deer and elk have experienced the bite from this one. Still using the OG load developed by Pat and George, RP 300SAUM brass necked down and trimmed, 61.0 H1000 and a 139/140 grain bullet.

Second is a 7 SAUM on a Defiance anTi XM action. Shooting 175 Berger elites in ADG brass over Reloder 23 and F215M. Took another bull with this one and absolutely love it.
