It will be with 166 gr A-tips. I've been shooting them slow with RL 26 @2700. Super accuracy but slow. Looking to save the 26 for my GAP and use Magpro. Might test some tomorrow.I won't be doing load dev until my barrel and action come in which will be around late FEB. So if you get some numbers let me know please.

Sure looks like it.H4831 is amazing with 160 class bullets.
I was shooting a lot of plinker 168 classic hunter I got super cheap with h4831sc.Sure looks like it.
Were you using Std or mag primers?I was shooting a lot of plinker 168 classic hunter I got super cheap with h4831sc.
That was so pleasant to shoot out to 1500 and even further and it hammered.
N165 is there as well.
I only use reg large riflesWere you using Std or mag primers?
I got my best results with closer to the lands than I normally run.So what's the consensus with the Sierra 183gr as far as seating. I have a long action so mag length isn't an issue. Do sierras like to jump or be close to the lands. Never shot sierras before. Always berger or Hornady.
Thanks in advance

Shot a couple 3 rd loads yesterday with H4831SC x 166 gr A-Tip. Wind was very minimal but mirage coming off the snow was horrible and certainly didn't help accuracy. 61.5 grs shot very well considering how shitty the conditions were, I managed to drop a couple in the same hole. That was with mag primers so now to test mag vs std and run a short ladder at distance. Thanks for the recommendation.H4831 is amazing with 160 class bullets.

With the bolt on the wrong side!Good looking blunderbuss.
Looks to me that it's ambidextrous.With the bolt on the wrong side!
Dude where can I get that brake?So here's the current pieces together. Just waiting on the barrel now.
And one in case some of you can't imagine what a barrel looks likeView attachment 7798882View attachment 7798883View attachment 7798885

You asked for it!Not a brake, just a new barrel tuner that I invented

I've shot both and 7 Saum is quite a bit better in my opinion. You won't go wrong. And I like the 6.5 Saum/Gap better as well.Some really useful information here. Thinking of a Tikka Super Varmint in 6.5 PRC to eventually convert to 7mm SAUM. Looks like it will have enough space to accommodate the 7 SAUM with the heavy bullets. As long a the bolt face is correct I don't think it matters which T3X you use?
That's good to know. The 6.5 PRC would just be the donor given that it's not easy to get parts and build a rifle over here. I could get a custom built but that would be a lot more expensive up front, not sure I'm that patient!I've shot both and 7 Saum is quite a bit better in my opinion. You won't go wrong.

Correct, the donor action doesn't matter. You will just have to run the correct bolt stop and mags.Some really useful information here.

Nice looking place to sling bullets!Been neglecting my 7 saum
Switched out the 338 barrel for the 7 mm barrel yesterday.
Such a fantastic cartridge
Shot it from 530 to 2020 yards today.
190 LRHT with R26 at 2850.
This barrel is starting to slow down after 1500ish rounds just like my last barrel.
I’ll make one or two powder adjustment’s then retire it.

What action length are you running with?Finally getting mine out on Sunday. Will have pics and such. Loaded up 100 rds of a middle weight charge of MagPro under 183, 180 and 197gr pro all 20ths off lands. Get all brass fire formed to my barrel. Then load dev time.
Doc
LA with .090 Freebore. If I find that not enough I'll have my smith bore it out to .100-.120What action length are you running with?
Oops, never mind, see a LA
Great velocity there in a short action! Pretty much on par with 26. What’s your barrel length?Ended up switching to 180berger hyb with N560. I run this in an origin short action 2.96oal. 61gr N560, Gunwerks brass, fed 210M.
Caliper should be moved out slightly. Noticed after I took pic
