    What action, barrel, stock are you running on your F class 7mmsaum and what 180gr bread of bullet?
    1000yds is fun, 1500yds is getting interesting, 2000yds is exciting, 2500yds will blow your mind

    I have two incarnations in the pipeline at the moment, Stolle/Krieger/Shehane tracker and a Barnard/Trueflight/McMillan A5
    as for the 180s Bergers and SMK's to try

    DAF, What fps are you getting with the 180's in the saum? Im getting 3007fps as an average, with an ES of 15fps.

    Actual projectile drop at 1000yrds confirms this speed, and is the way I have always measured FPS, having never trusted a chrony.

    Your Kreiger combo sounds like another winner !

    Hi,
    My new 7mmSAUM reamer arrived too late for the build so I currently have a 7/300wsm which burns 68gr of 2217 to produce 3140fps from a 32inch trueflight.
    I have a magnum bolt coming for my Stolle and that will become the
    Stolle/Krieger/Shehane tracker chambered in
    7mmSAUM (throated for the 180's) once its put together I will let you know what it does

    I successfully formed 50 7mm SAUM cases from some Federal 300 WSM I had surplus and couldn't sell on Trademe.

    Interesting thing that I discovered by chance is that the Federal 300 WSM cases miked at under .550 at the case head, and for all intents and purposes were identical to my piece of 7mm Nosler SAUM brass.
