Thread: 7 prc Sammi

Greetings All,
I bought a Remington Sendero in 7mm SAUM in 2004 with ideas of using it on the Kaweka tops especially around Kiwi Saddle. The following year a Remington VSSF in .223 cuddled up next to it in the safe. The VSSF is almost identical to the Sendero, other than chambering, so the idea was to use it in 4P comps as a trainer rifle for the SAUM. The VSSF got used quite a bit but the SAUM not so much due to declining mobility and sloth. I have ample brass and projectiles for any possible future use so I really must get it out of the safe a bit more.
Regards Grandpamac.

Greetings @Tim Dicko,
I am rather loath to admit that the rifle has fired barely 50 rounds. The factory 150 grain Corekokt loads chronographed 3,080 fps and handloads with the same projectile and 68 grains of AR2217 (Hodgdons ADI max) produced 2,985 fps. This was with Winchester WLR primers. I have since switched to Federal 215GM primers but have not chronographed that load. Initially I tried AR2213SC powder but couldn't reach 2,900 fps at book max. I have read that AR2209 works well in the SAUM but have not tried it yet.I tried the Hornady Amax projectile briefly but at 74mm oa it is a single load only and shot left of the 150 grain. Much more needs to be done which I must get on to.
Regards Grandpamac.

50 rounds you better get it back out and get it stacking em. The little rifles are more fun to shoot no doubt, they just don't carry the energy unfortunately. 2209 isnt as fast but would work if it was avalible. That arnt fussy on powder from what i have read. its only a matter of time before i own one. Accuracy beats horse power all day on game.
