I can get in the 2900s with a different powder and good accuracy. After seeing Nosler's loaded ammo with a muzzle velocity of 2850 listed on the box, makes me think the 2900+ may be a little much in my factory 22" barrel.

Would you be happy with the 2835 fps or what do you think it should be getting?


I'm not sure what the case capacity of the SAUM is but I'm running 150g bergers in a 7 Remington mag at almost 3200fos and it's shooting groups in the .120-.200 range. It's stupid accurate and a FAST. You might try another bullet because I think you should be able to get close to 3000 fps.
