I think it is pretty much dead. Stores were clearing them out last year - you could get a Model 7 SS for $575 new.

Know any stores with those deals still?

Nope.

great cartridge... A bit shorter than the WSM's so it fits a short Remington a bit better.
Dead or not, all you need is a set of dies and a couple hundred brass and you're set for a long time.

But, but, but what happens if I go hunting and I forget my ammo? You can't get any .300SAUM at the general stor in Buttfudge, Saskachewan!

On my short list also, like one bloke says, few hundred brass and dies... good to go for hunting lifetime.

The guy that forgets is ammo usually forgets his detachable magazine, glasses, wallet and truck keys so cant go anywhere anyways. LOL
I have the Model Seven in 7mm SAUM and love it. I dont reload but purchased lots of ammo while they were blowing them out.

300 Saum

I bought one this last spring,(Rem mod7), and a dozen boxes of factory ammo.
I had the rifle bedded and put a muzzle break on it, shooting the factory 180gr is about like shooting a 243 win. It's a keeper. Handloading for it comes close to factory velocities but you can not quite equal the factory rounds.

Or customs keeps half your ammo, gets lost in flight, etc.

I like the saum series of cartridges, longer neck, I find they are better for reloading and darn accurate, certainly in my Sendero anyways.
