    162 Amax beyond 1000

    Re: 162 Amax beyond 1000 FWIW I shoot a 7SAUM AI and use the 180SMK's. I am pushing them at 3100fps. During load development I was doing a ladder test and grouping was horrible until it got over 3000fps. I ended up having two nodes, one at 3050 and one at 3100. Between 3074fps and 3100 I had...

    .284,7SAUM OR 7mm Remmag??????

    Re: .284,7SAUM OR 7mm Remmag?????? I think you will be happy with either the SAUM or the WSM if you are looking for speed. I went a little different and built a 7 SAUM AI. I am pushing 180's @ 3100 without pressure signs and it seems to be the flatest thing around.

    Wincheater Stealth 300 WSM

    Re: Wincheater Stealth 300 WSM Montgomery, I shot a 300WSM 1-10 for years and it loved the 208 Amax. What Mike is saying is the wsm wont quite push them as fast as the win mag. You can expect 2850 or so out of the 208's in the wsm. The amax's are jump tolerant bullets and shoot well out of...

    One mile shot with 7saum Thunderbeast 30p-1

    Re: One mile shot with 7saum Thunderbeast 30p-1 Skyking, I finally got the SAUM AI finished. Was able to push the SMK 180's to 3100 out of the Surgeon short action. Backed it off to 3050 just due to rediculously low ES of 3fps. How are you liking the 35 degree shoulder? How did your dies turn...

    7mm SAUM + 180 Berger Hybrids

    Re: 7mm SAUM + 180 Berger Hybrids gregsjt, Yes, I had to mill out about 100 thou off the feed ramp and about 50 thou on the bolt stop to allow the bolt to pick up a round. The Ackley 40 degree shoulders havent been a problem and feed flawlessly.

    Bushing Question-Redding Die

    Re: Bushing Question-Redding Die The necks will vary with unturned necks. Your thickness in your necks will cause tighter or lighter neck tension also causing you ES to be high. What do your groups look like? The target will tell you if it is an issue. If you are fighting a vertical string on...

    Ballistic coefficient G1 and G7

    Re: Ballistic coefficient G1 and G7 I figured I would stoke the fire a little. I see both points made by both sides. I agree with LL's point that if it gets a hit whats wrong with it? I will say I do prefer to use G7 and it never has failed me. I believe I am understanding your point Bryan...

    Re: pre 64 bottom metal? Im pretty sure they do, I talked to Jeff a while back about a bottom metal for my FN which is a Winny Pre 64. I just saw someone else the other day that makes them. I cant remember if it was accurate mags or who it was but there are a few options out there.

I just couldnt get myself to drop the cash on a bipod thinking is a bipod really worth that much. Does it really make that much of a difference. Well...

    Are AI AE rifles worth the money?

    Re: Are AI AE rifles worth the money? If you already have a AICS chasis, why not buy a Badger action which is basically the same thing as the AI and you wont be into it that deep since you already have the chasis. Just my .02
