Product Details
Built for shooters who demand the absolute best, the Barnes Reserve line sets a new standard of precision and performance for Barnes enthusiasts. Each round is handloaded by our ballistic lab experts using ultra-premium components and is purpose-built for niche and hard-to-find hunting cartridges. Every load is carefully selected and rigorously tested to achieve the lowest standard deviations and match-grade tolerances available today. Barnes Reserve stands as the ultimate benchmark for performance—available exclusively through our website, direct-to-consumer.
The 7mm Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum (SAUM) was introduced in the early 2000s during the short magnum boom. Designed to deliver near 7mm Remington Magnum performance from a more compact short-action rifle, the 7mm SAUM stands out for its efficiency and exceptional accuracy potential.
While it never reached mainstream popularity, the 7mm SAUM has developed a devoted following. Many precision shooters and long-range hunters have had custom rifles chambered for it, and it has seen regular use in long-range competition shooting due to its impressive ballistics and consistency.
One of the cartridge’s main drawbacks has been limited factory ammunition availability, making it less appealing for hunters who don't handload. The Barnes Reserve 7mm SAUM 145gr LRX load changes that—offering a high-performance, ultra-premium option for hunters seeking top-tier terminal performance without the need to handload.
