Depending on what you want to build, I have used Felix from Dale Wise custom guns for 3 builds, 300 RUM, 7 RM, and 280 Remington. Amazing results and fast turnaround.

I have shot a pile of deer with a 6.5 SAUM and 156s, all DRT between 100-350 yards, hit behind the ribs, no explosion, no more meat loss than an ELDM or X. I am pushing them right at 3000 fps. I have another load with 143 eldx but bergers shoot so good I have a hard time changing them.
Like you, I built a 300 wsm on a LA on a 26 inch CF proof throated for Berger 215s. I am shooting N565(70gr), COAL 3.145 @ 2850 below pressure using ADG and Fed 215M. You have a pretty good load there so not sure if this is any better. As usual start lower if you want to try this combo.

I was in your shoes not so long ago, ended up buying a Micron FL bushing die, and a LE Wilson Micrometer seating die for arbor press. I’m using Lapua brass too.
I did a ladder from 60 gr to 64.5 gr of H1000, seated at 3.025, with Berger 175 EH, never hit pressure, 24 inch barrel and ADG brass, top velocity was 2890.
I just got a Tikka with a prefit Proof CF barrel, 24 inch, and finished loading 175 Bergers over 60 gr of H1000 just to to do seating depth test, let’s see what happens. My other 7 SAUM is a tack driver with 162 ELDX over 59.5 gr of H4831SC. I like RL 26 but here in TX I can’t run it too hot as...
