So far: 160 NAB, 60 gr H4831sc, Fed 210 Match primer, Rem brass, OAL 3.255, Ogive length with campartor 2.920. Chronographed at 2850 in a 25 inch barrell. My magazine box limits seating depth. So far 3/4" groups if I do my part. Of course your results may vary.

UPDATE ! My 7 SAUM is getting put together now - I obtained a NEW take off M700 barrel which is 24 " long instead of the 22" - i am having the Barrel straight fluted and the Bolt spiral fluted - i have a Timney trigger for it . I also have now a WildCat stock too - so in the next month or 2 i should get it done ! My scope for it is the Swarovski Z3 3-10 BRX and Talley LW rings-bases ! I am looking forward to this rifle getting done and shooting it ! RJ

I am very happy with the caliber. Hope you are to. It isn't a 338 mag. But that isn't what I wanted. It has fulfilled my expectations.

 

[Rem Jim]

I have a 338 RUM for my 33 cal rifle - RJ

RJ, I am looking forward to your report and pictures of it making bug hole groups.

Hey Jim if you need some more Norma brass here is some available. Norma stuff is getting hard to find right now here since the importer into Canada went out of business. It is a fair bit cheaper than Nosler brass in the same caliber.

Hmm ! Changes to the 7 Saum build the metal work is done- mounted and barrel 6 fluted and indexed ( no bolt fluting YET ) and the new stock is a B&C M7 sporter Stock - Black with Grey spider web - the trigger is a Calvin Elite Timney . The Wilcat stock is going to go on my Rem M7 SS 7mm-08 rifle to lighten it up a bunch ! I did get 100 new 7 Rsaum Remington brass and also 75 new NORMA brass too ! so i am set ! SOON i hope to shoot it ! :grin: RJ

I hope your SAUM turns out as well as mine did. I could not be more pleased with the work the gun smith, Jerry "Custom", did on it. It is one of my most prized possessions.

 

[Rem Jim]

Imr7828 or H1000 is supposed to work WELL in the 7 Saum - as slow as they are ! RJ

 

[Rem Jim]

New UPdate again ! the new B&C stock went on my Rem M7 SS 7mm-08 ! LOL I bought a new in box MC EDGE stock from a fellow who never put it on his M7 - its on its way to me from manitoba So i can get shooting this Gal in the new year for sure - i have test loads ready to go ! RJ

 

[Rem Jim]

I may install the Wildcat stock now on my Rem M7 243 - :shock: lol RJ

Buttermilk412, welcome aboard. You appear to be getting decent velocities and fine accuracy from your build. Have you used it hunting yet? Either of the bullets you're using should work quite well on game.

Jim, looking forward to you getting your M7 7SAUM finished and starting
the load development going. It's going to be a nice carry rifle with punch and
reach.

Buttermilk 412,

I did indeed use it this last deer season to take a younger buck. I used the Nosler 150 ABLR. 10 yard shot. Deer ran 60-70 yds. Zero blood trail, with absolutely no external bleeding. Entry was bullet diameter with the shoulder being broken. Exit was just behind shoulder. Barely larger than bullet diameter.

I was surprised at the entry and exit wounds being so small. But I did have a dead deer.
