.300 WSM or .300 Win Mag

[Delfuego]

7SAUM will do 2900-3000fps with a 180 out of either a short or long action. Long action makes things easier because of magazine length. I got a new 29" barrel, bolt-head and magazines for my Bighorn and screwed it on last week. Not quite as fast as XC's 7/300 WSM, or as sexy looking, but should deliver the mail out to a mile or so. I know Mark Chanlynn has chambered a couple 7SAUM's recently if you need a smith, I can also put you in touch with another is you decide to go that way.

Whichever you decide on, you better come down and shoot that sucker.

I'm planning on it for sure. I just had a second surgery on my back (cervical fusion) with screws and rods. So while I'm down I want to build another to shoot. I guess my plan right now is to build a switch barrel in 7mm SAUM and .300 Win mag, give me a chance to play with both. I'll build it on a Surgeon LA most likely. Might just have Bugholes chamber me two barrels with the bugnut and call it a day!
What do you recommend for a twist rate for the 180's in 7mm?
