7 SAW

[806guns]

162 gr eldm using 41-43 gr varget looks to be a pretty consistent turn key load. Looks like a lot of people are getting really low es and sd numbers with little effort.

That's what I ran.

Anybody down to hook a brother up with a dummy round 162 eldm or 168 berger. I need one for a custom wilson seater die

Yall aren't helping me not rebarrel the daughters 6.5 Sig Cross to a saw... what's the difference between the SAW 2?
Straight jacket has the barrels...

.145 Freebore (Longer Throat) on the SAW2. Good explanation on this page. Basically it’s optimized for 162-168 grain bullets, which is really the advantage of the cartridge.

Actually just talked to Nick today cause I added a 7SAW barrel to my Cross order from them to tag along with the 6.5CM. Just waiting on the back ordered dies.

Loading a 139 lrx in my sons 7 saw. He shot a bull a few weeks ago at 390. Acted like he was hit by lightning.

This right here is why I have a 7 saw.

I’ve been working with H4350, but wasn’t happy with groups. ES numbers were very good, several loads below 10. But couldn’t get below 1” groups, and had random fliers. Most groups were closer to 1 1/2”. I was getting “crunch” from compression starting at 45.5 grains, which was giving me 2625 fps. I think the compression was causing my issues, so I wanted to try a faster powder.

Got my hands on some Varget last night. Ran a quick pressure test at 42-43 grains. This was the group. Heavy bolt at 43 grains with a light ejector swipe. Ghost of an ejector mark at 42.5

.010 off Jam (Lands)

Needless to say, I think I’ll be able to find a load haha. I’ll do a quick Litz style seating depth test at 42gr, and should be done. (.010, .050, .090, .130) off Jam. 42gr gave me 2650 fps, with only 60 down the tube. Should speed up slightly
