    Tell me about the 300SAUM

    I had a moment of weekness, I now own a 300SAUM. I know bugger all about it apart from what I have read on Nathan Fosters website. What's everyone loading in them?
    If I don't reply, Mrs has probably buried me somewhere down the back of the farm.

    Cheers

    Hmm from what I have read I think the 178 Amax doing about 2950-3000 will be pretty potent. Rifle is model 7 action, 24" tube, carbon fibre stock, threaded and has a MAE stainless suppressor on it which I may swap for a dpt. Comes with dies and 200 brass so shouldn't be too hard to get it up and running.

    Ok Ryan - I owe you bigtime cause I saw that rifle and by the time I'd worked up the courage to do something about it (and worked out what I'd tell the Cook) it was gone and I was saved!
