So I think after much research I definitely want a 7mm-300. There are two variations I'm looking at, the SAUM and WSM. The suam is slightly shorter at the shoulder, but has a longer neck then the wsm. Everything else about them is comparable including speed and accuracy.

However, it seems many say go with SAUM because a WSM will have bad enough throat erosion after 600-800 shots that it has to be cut down and re chambered. I do like the idea of WSM, but not enough to sacrifice that much barrel life. Seems you can get 1200+ rounds through a saum before needing re chambered due to the neck length.

Choosing between SAUM and WSM is really the only hurdle I need to jump before ordering a barrel. I have krieger and bartlein to choose from so whoever can give me the best time frame
