25 Saum load data

Berger 135 LRHT in mine very consistent out to 1050.

N565
2.250 CBTO - .035 off
2.945~ COAL
ADG 6.5 SAUM brass
MV 3260

I also tried H1000 but didn’t have the accuracy or speed I was looking for.

Edit to add - 26” 7.5 twist CRB barrel

What’s everybody coal and how far off the lands Going to try the Berger 133 and 135

With me, I just loaded the 133 to 2.95 oal to fit in my magazine. I haven't checked how far off the lands I am yet. I'm loading in Hornady Gap 4s brass as I already have a 6.5 SAUM using ADG brass and I don't want to confuse them.

What dies are you guys using for your 25 saums

What dies are you guys using for your 25 saums

7 SAUM Hornady Premium are hard to beat, .283 SAC bushing and 134 Eldm VLD seating stem

 

[SeanM243]

I'm running a SAC Sizing Die .283 bushing and using my Redding 6.5 SAUM competition seating die with a VLD seating stem

 

[Len901]

I didn’t know you could use the 7 saum for the 6.5 saum And no issue doing this thought the 7 saum was a longer case

6.5 SAUM isn't a SAAMI cartridge. It's a wildcat off a straight neck down of 7mm or 300 SAUM (which have the same shoulder dimensions).

Maybe you're mistaking PRCs for SAUMs?

 

[Len901]

I knew the 6.5 prc case was different just always thought 7 saum was alittle bigger case then the 6.5 saum learned something new I was confused why a lot of people were using 7 saum dies for the 25 saum and the 7 saum dies are cheaper, that’s a plus
