7 SAUM isn't even close to 28 Nosler performance. Try and get a 195 up to 3200 FPS with an SAUM and report back after you win a Darwin award.Dislikes, the 7 SAUM is not that far off it and in a short action if your chasing weight. If I was building today I would give the SAUM a serious look.
Check out the 26 nosler. My buddy smoked a barrel in 260 rounds. Carbon fiber too. SpendyOnly drawback is barrel life is atrocious. Not uncommon to only get about 650 rounds or so before throat is gone. Zeke even told me about a guy burning out a throat in his first 40 rounds not letting it cool between rounds.
Loved that round. Held my longest shot on game for two and a half decades till 2020.Been shooting once since 1999. My barrel is stamped 7mm STW though. ?
That’s my caliber too, but I sure would like to find some 175 grain nosler ammo!Loved that round. Held my longest shot on game for two and a half decades till 2020.
Loading them hot is different than shooting the gun when the BARREL is hot.Sounds Like A Gun that REDDOG Could Destroy in just a few days!
He Loads Em HOT!
Loading them hot is different than shooting the gun when the BARREL is hot.
Yes, copious amounts of powder will promote barrel wear but its greatly exacerbated when the barrel metal is hot and subsequently shot.
Shooting a hot load is way different than shooting a gun while hot.

?YUP!
And REDDOG Does Both!
STW circa 1989. Took a little more work to get one back then.That’s my caliber too, but I sure would like to find some 175 grain nosler ammo!
Mine is the Savage 110 ultralight as well. Seriously impressive rifle for the price.Here is my four shot group from the load I’m using next to a dime. I’m shooting the savage 110 ultralite and man is it a shooter.

Not everyone is shooting the heavies Francis7 SAUM isn't even close to 28 Nosler performance. Try and get a 195 up to 3200 FPS with an SAUM and report back after you win a Darwin award.
So a SAUM is magically going to be competitive with a 28 Nosler with each using lighter bullets?Not everyone is shooting the heavies Francis
No but it'll get 3 times the barrel life. Same difference between the 7 saum and 28 is the bigger 7mm wildcats vs the 28 Nosler...they csn get 3500 with a 195. There's always a bigger badder carriage out there...just wait a minute.So a SAUM is magically going to be competitive with a 28 Nosler with each using lighter bullets?
I'm aware. My previous post was not meant to be taken seriously.No but it'll get 3 times the barrel life. Same difference between the 7 saum and 28 is the bigger 7mm wildcats vs the 28 Nosler...they csn get 3500 with a 195. There's always a bigger badder carriage out there...just wait a minute.
Gotcha no worries brother. One of the hazards, sometimes I don't pickup on it.I'm aware. My previous post was not meant to be taken seriously.
