7SAUM 168 VLD

[trailrider121]

I plan to chamber my 7mm-08 24" Criterion barrel to 7 SAUM. I plan to use 168 vld hunting bullets as this will be a tactical/ hunting rifle. It will be on a savage SA and and will have a COL around 3.00" What kind of speed will i see with this setup? should i have a special reamer built or use sammi spec and have it throated for 168 vld? Any know any gunsmiths that have this kind of setup?

With the parameters you listed Quick Load shows 2950-2975 fps at 65K depending on powder choice.

Thanks MrMajestic. Gives me a good idea what to expect.

You planning to run a blind mag, or DBM with Alpha mags?

I'm interested to see how this turns out...

blind mag. Swap out bolt head and magazine.
