    RL16&26 Hyped, RL23 Crickets

    In 6.5 I think the bulk of the powder combined with burn rate prevents a good load density. I use RL23 in my 7SAUM with 175 Berger EHs with good results so far.

    338 - 7mm LRM?

    Why not just go with 33 Nosler? It has more capacity and a similar case length.

    7rem mag, 7wsm, 7saum

    With that seating depth they're all pretty close. The old Rem Mag wins on capacity though not by much. I could measure my SAUM but it's the smallest of the three.

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    Don't forget it's also a world where everyone can afford $1400 Manners stocks, $3000 European scopes, and wear Arcteryx pants to play weekend warrior as if they're all tier 1 tip of the spear spec ops super champions. It's about looking the part, like having a luxury car, they want finesse, not...

    Bottom Metal for Savage 4.4

    I put a accurate mag dbm on my aftermarket GRS Berserk stock. Then Savage went and released, almost, exactly what I built. Anyway, I needed to do some fitting to get the bolts to line up and had to shorten the bolts a bit. The rear bolt was long enough to hit the bolt body. Otherwise it was...

    300 WSM RL16 or RL23

    I'm using RL23 in my 7SAUM. It won't give you the pressure spikes over 70-80°F that RL26 is known for. It's not going to give as much velocity before pressure but it's respectable and likely in a nice node anyway.

    https://cacassociatesinc.com/collections/nosler-brass/products/nosler-brass-28-nosler These guys might have some 28 Nosler. I don't know if their inventory is live or not. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    28 Nosler Brass

    Same here. I've been looking for some to work on a wildcat project. I bet most of the stock got eaten up due to hunting season through the fall. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    7mm SAUM Brass

    Just read on ADG Cartridge Brass facebook that they're coming out with 7mm SAUM. They're already producing some sought after cartridges in magnum cases. ​​​​​​http://www.atlasdg.com/repository/documents/ADG%20MSRP%20Case%20Price%20List%202017.pdf

    Redding Dies - Which ones to get?

    I love my Forster sets. For my creedmoor I went the route of a cheaper Hornady FL bushing sizer to start. This was like $35-$40 until I settle on a brass supplier manufacturer. With lapua, Peterson and alpha I wanted the ability to swap bushings for now. In the future I will buy a Forster...

    7mm SAUM Brass

    Just want to mention that on Shooter's Pro Shop .300SAUM is on sale and if you're military you can get 100 Nosler "Blems" for $125.91. If I didn't just land myself 140pieces of RP 1x fired I'd be buying.

    7mm SAUM Brass

    Based on their current pricing of something like 6.5 creedmoor SP and or the standard .308 Win cases they're on par or beating Norma/Lapua. If 10 loadings is good, why not strive for 15 or 20 if you're annealing. Even if Norma brass was Lapua-like durability, why not welcome a US manufacturer...

    7mm SAUM Brass

    Alpha responded. Quick I might add. Bob Danielson the president of the company said they are looking at releasing some new cartridges soon. It doesn't sound like SAUM is one of them but he said it's under consideration for future development. I got basically the same response from Peterson...

    7mm SAUM Brass

    In the spirit of the Dasher brass thread I thought I'd put this up to help efforts for SAUM. Currently Peterson claims to be looking into making SAUM brass. Alpha Munitions seems to be interested as well. Bertram is currently making SAUM brass as of August and looking for a US...
