This......if running a short action, stick to a short freebore and use 160tmk or 162 eld bullets.
Would you experienced saum guys recommend building on a short action if I already have the bolt head or would you recommend just building on a long action and selling the bolt face?
I run a short action with 180s and have no problems reaching 2900+ with H4831sc
24" barrel
24" barrel
Not sure I understand this question? Do you have a short action/w mag bolt face? Or do you just have a bolt?
I have a short action with the mag bolt face and standard bolt face. Currently not using the magnum bolt for anything but want to get into a 7 saum
Well if you don’t want to buy another action then the short will work, 180s are pushing so personally I’d stick to 168s or that range of bullets. If you wanna run 180 or heavier I’d get yourself a long action if it were me.
180gr ELD-M loaded to 2.95 with a milled feed ramp in my Bat VR work very well.
If you already have the action and stock I would be tempted to stick with what you have got or stick with the barrel you have on that rifle and buy a second rifle. Always nice to have more than one in the safe.
