There's alot of love for 7mm with the mile+ shooters. Alot of my buddies run them. Offers less recoil then a 300 WM, and for banging steel there's no need for the "extra" power offered by certain 300 WM rounds. One guy I know even runs a 300 WM/7MM, a 300 WM casing necked down to a 7mm. Still alot of love from long range hunters as well.

7mm SAUM is a great little round!

I need another hobby about like I need a hole in my head. But "they" opened up a shooting range near me(Talladega Marksmanship Park) and after a couple of times on the big range I'm hooked. .30-7mm mag sound about perfect. Should push 180 gr about....3250? And a heck of a B.C.

check out the Lazzeroni Warbird, that will push a bullet. I am waiting on a new barrel to do some testing using the new .30 call 212 grain ELD-X bullets
