There is an easy way to find out, do what I did.

Buy a reamer, dies, brass, barrel & donor rifle, get it all put together, then try a whole lot of different powders & projectiles in it.

I would have thought an easy way would be ask the guys that are running one unless it's some kind secret?

Eg cam how do you find your Saum and how does it go with what length barrel? Me good mate 22 inch tube 168 bergers and 66 Gn 2217 and 2930 fps in my barrel throated to suit


Not asking for any trade secrets just an actual interest in this 7 Blaser and wanted to know a bit more about them

Haha nah mate if anything it's getting cut shorter

7BM powderpuff 2217 pushes the 162 @3110fps. That’s not hot either so I’d say it would push a 180 to 3000.

Cheers Danny thanks for the info

Thanks for the info. Looks like it would be a great fit for the tikka.

Instead of a cartridge run at max to get decent velocity like the 7mm blaser go with the bigger 28 nosler run it well below max and achieve the same result and better barrel life if you were into shooting steel with the knowledge that you can stoke it up ffor hunting at LR.

Rem700, 28" bartlein chambered in 7 blaser mag.
180eldm, 3150 fps 2225
195 eol, 3100 fps RL33
Round count approaching 1k, still shooting great, not chasing the lands yet.
Cool cartridge.
7 saum, 28" truflite
180eldm, 3000fps 2217
1/2 grain off my max, so probably in the 2900's with 26"
Awsome cartride!

How many grains 2225 are you using with 180 eld M ‘s please?

69.6 2225, hit pressure at 71.2, was running 70 fps slower when first ran this load, don't know if was because it was lower temps (winter) or barrel was new, maybe a bit of both.
Usual stuff, each rifle different, work up.
