What's Special about a SAUM?

I'd like to keep this thread about the SAUM,s only that utilize headstamped
Brass in 6.5, 7, & 300 SAUM.

I'd like to see Rifle build pics guys are using chambered in SAUM.

Also include some positive information in regards to the benefits & Performance you've experienced from your SAUM rifles, to help introduce & promote the SAUM to others.
As well as highlighting any advantages you attribute to the cartridge itself.
ie: overachieving, easy to load, versatile,
Inherently accurate, etc.


This is to piggy back off of another thread I started recently to help promote continued support of a cartridge that performs really well, & deserves to have more Brass options made available.

Help Keep the SAUM's Alive !!!

Thank you for your support.

Now share your Great pics & Experience of your favorite SAUM.

I'm shooting two SAUM these days, 6.5 and 7mm. They pack a punch for their size. Here a couple of pictures and groups. The one with no label is my 6.5 with 156 Bergers. The one with the goat is my 7 SAUM, the other one is the 6.5.
I'm getting 2900 fps with 162 ELDX in the 7 saum and 3000 fps in the 6.5 with 156s.

Tikka t3 6.5 saum gap 4 LA
25" pbb .750 straight taper 8 twist
Factory bottom metal,
Lri magnum bolt
factory "hunter wood" stock with lug bedded

First groups for the rifle, I grabbed a mid charge of 7828ssc and 147 eldms, went to the range and dang near all 9 shots went into the same hole at 100.

Hunting loads:
143 h1000 3050'

Killed two bulls with it, shoots flat, bucks wind, hits hard, low recoil. What's not to love…
