The low demand for factory ammunition in 7mm SAUM has resulted in a sharp increase in the cost of 7mm SAUM as of mid 2014. Currently 7mm SAUM is experiencing a rebound in popularity with custom rifle builders and handloaders, as it is able to drive the long (180 grain class) bullets fast enough for long range target shooting.
The 7mm RUM was created using the .404 Jeffery case [citation needed] which was also used to develop the .375 RUM.300 RUM, and .338 RUM [citation needed]. By necking down the .300 RUM to suit the .284 or 7mm projectile, Remington produced a non-belted case with a head diameter that is somewhat larger than the belt diameter of the original ...
This former wildcat, made by necking down the original Winchester .284 casing to 6.5mm (.264), was developed for long range target shooting where participants usually handload their ammunition. At that time, it was one of the most used non-wildcat cartridges by match shooters in F-Class and 1000 yd/m benchrest long range competitions. [ 8 ]

The three main technologies employed for long-range shooting—the bolt-action rifle, telescopic rifle scope and machined cartridge ammunition—were developed in the nineteenth century. The first bolt-action rifle was produced in 1824 by the German firearms inventor Johann Nicolaus von Dreyse. The first documented telescopic rifle sight was ...
In both the open and standard rifle divisions, minor power factor is dominating due to less recoil, and 5.56×45mm/ .223 Rem is a common caliber. Ammunition loaded to major power factor such as 7.62×51 mm/ .308 Win has a bigger recoil impulse, and is regarded as having an advantage on stages with targets at long range.
