    Gotta be happy with that. Prob no 'real' need to rebarrel to 7Saum, other than the saum is 'cooler' than the wsm

    I'm sure the 270wsm would be a great performer with the 150 LRAB.

    Yeah. The only thing is that the 270wsm isn't suited to a shorter barrel, where-as I could go to 22"-20" with the 7SAUM and still get pretty good performance with 150 grn.

    The 270wsm is threaded so I might get a DPT 7mm suppressor for it and see how unwieldy it makes it. I'm not interested in a brake.

    Ok got ya. Yes, my 7Saum has factory 22" tube and does just on 3k with 162. I'm sure it'd still be very capable with 20"

    You should still reach 3000fps with 150's and Retumbo/2225 in a 22" barrel. That's where mine is running with a DPT on the end and I wouldn't be worried about cutting it down to 20" if I felt I wanted it shorter.
