Perhaps to 7mm saum (same brass length as the 7mm08) Then you have a 162 a-max @ 3050fps :)

Also a great upgrade for all those 270WSM Tikka T3s out there, same bolt face, just a rebarrel and the saum brass fits in the mag.

Whats your shortest saum? The 7-08 is running a 19" barrel at present with suppressor. Wanted a nice short combo for the wife. Be interesting to see if a saum/280/284 could make much of a gain in a 19"tube (saum would require heavier suppressor)

Edit: by getting more perfornance from the short barrel i would be making my 7mm mag slightly redundant and think i would need to check with gunsmith about if the standard syppressor would handle the pressure of these cases on a short barrel

284 and 280 run the same bolt face saving that issue. and just be a quick ream and reset with a new mag and bolt stop
buggered If I know what the increase would be tho,

My shortest saum uses a 16 inch tube, 140 grainers @3000fps easy.

Is that a Kimber, do you have to fire form brass?

No fireforming and it's a Remington Model 7.

The Remington model 7 rifles are starting to show up more and more on second hand gun racks these days.

I was in Hamills Hastings this morning and they have a very tidy 243 there for $1000, which is about the going rate.

Its exceptionally easy to rebarell to 7mm, open up the boltface to .540 (SAUM WSM) flute everything, light firing pin assembly and shroud, carbon stock

and a few other weight saving tricks and you have a nice little pointy machine, nearly as light as a T3 :thumbsup:


A 270WSM T3 Lite with all the weight saving tricks with a 7mm tube and saum chamber is hell light. No mag mods either, and they are bloody cheap.

BOOOOOOOM:thumbsup:

A short magnum case with a faster burn rate powder will better the velocity of a long mag case with identical (short) barrel lengths.

So, if you want a short barreled magnum chose to chamber it with a saum/wsm reamer rather than a rem mag/rum.

A 140 or 150g projectile exiting a 16 inch barrel at over 3000fps is extremely useful. Sika hate it :D
