Not yet. Got everything done but the Cerakote and Stock painting. I have a thread going with full details of the build that will eventually include a range report.

Re: What is the best caliber for ELR in aSHORT ACTION?

Great info. I just picked up a 300 SAUM with a 1-12 twist and I am wondering what bullet to shoot. I was thinking a 180-190 grain VLD or SMK. I want to find a very tempature stable powder for it also. Any suggestions? This gun will fit between my GAP 308 and my 338AX.

The other option was to re-chamber it in 300WSM just because of brass availability.
