    7 saum & 162 amax

    Anyone got any loads with 2217? Also heard around 59 grains of reloader 23 works well. Any tricks with seating depth?

    Either can work, every rifle is different

    It's on the shelf next to the boxes of RL17 and unicorns.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Gunworks have some RL23 if you're in Sth Is.
    ADI 2217 works fine - just finished load dev on SAUM w 162AMAX (the old ones) 65.9 gn 2217 ~30thou jump, 2885 fps 0.5 moa. Two shots in one ragged hole the 3rd shot I pulled a tad, still came in 0.5 moa. Even this is slightly compressed load and you need to be careful to tap down load while filling.

    Hi guys does any 1 have a load for 7mm saum with n165 over 162 eldx. Or a starting load to work up from struggling to find any info online. I have a mod 7 with a 24inch true flight barrel. I've been using 2213 but was recommended n165 to try. Any help would be great. Thanks
