Medium action build thoughts/ideas

[806guns]

I have a Origin medium length action on the way with a XLR Element chassis. I need to fill a spot between my 25 Saw(comp barrel) and 300 Norma. Not into Shermans. Really stuck on 7mm Thinking around a 22"-24" barrel
25-7 PRC dont really need but would be faster than the current barrel and lighter.
7 Saum freebore set for medium action
7 Mega med action freebore
7 Prc heavy 180-195gr bullets
Would say this could be my lighter weight hunting setup. Under 12lbs

A vote for 7 saum. I absolutely love that round, everything about it is just awesome. I just shot through a barrel I had chambered jn 7saum. Having another spun up in 7saum but finally going shorty, 20” this time, compared to 26” I had. I can’t think of a better choice for a medium action, IMO.

The 26” was shooting 180 eldms at 2980fps.

Another +1 for the 7SAUM!

What freebore on the medium?

I’m a fan of the 7saum but the 6.5saum is AWSOME

What freebore on the medium?

I can't honestly remember what my freebore was set at. I picked my bullet and made a dummy round with the bottom of the bearing surface right at the neck shoulder junction. I then sent that to my smith and had him chamber. My comparator has the bto at 2.207 with a coal of 2.967. Im using Berger 175 EOL hunting hybrids.

Have you taken any game with the 175 elite hunters? I’m curious about them for this new barrel.
