What’s your formula? I’m shooting 168 Berger with 2823 avg. 22” barrel. 60gr 4831sc.
Is this on a short action? What bullet?Well since this got bumped, may as well show my 7 SAUM.
Gunwerks Magnus with 20” barrel. Hoping to dump a bull with it this season.

Is this on a short action? What bullet?
That’s sweet. I was shooting the 140 TTSX but couldn’t get them locally so I switched to the 120 TTSX in my 7mm08. Thinking to build a 7 Saum in a short action but seeing all the comments about long actions…Yes, built on a short action. I tested the 145 Barnes LRX, 145 hammer HHT, 160 accubond, and the 175 Berger EH.
All shot very well, but went with extra speed from the Barnes. Took this bull at 415 yards and this buck at 350 yards a couple of weeks ago. My brother in law used my rifle to take a buck (bottom pic) at 580 yards. Definitely happy with the combo.

There are a lot of comments about the SAUM "needing" a longer action or a custom chamber, and a lot of that has come from the history of the 7 SAUM being used by competitors that love to tinker, but especially for hunting purposes you are not handicapping yourself by using a short action and a SAAMI chamber.Thinking to build a 7 Saum in a short action but seeing all the comments about long actions…
Just took my 2nd critter with my 7mm SAUM build. My first Coues, 425yds. The first was a 7 x 6 bull taken at 325yds.
