Been putting a lot of thought into a 7mm SAUM build for hunting/target/competition rifle. I have found some good info here on the Hide and on other sites, but have a few off the wall questions. And was hoping some of the members that are actually shooting the 7mm could throw some info at me:
- Barrel length has been a very hard thing to get real answers on. Everyone has there opinion about it, but I was hoping that someone here could actually post some facts: bullet weight/barrel length/velocity. My goal is to push the 180gr VLD somewhere around ~2900fps with the shortest barrel that will accommodate it.
- Does the SAUM have any OAL issues in a SA with the 180gr VLDs? I have heard that it does and it doesn't. Is there ever a need to push the COAL past the standard 2.800"? And if there is a need can I just mod my mag/feed ramp to give it enough breathing room instead of needing to go with a LA?

Figured I would post this link so no one else had to.
