Folks, if there were an actually improved version of the 7MMO8 cartridge, would you be intrigued?

Would you be interested?

Would you want one?

If there was something even better with a stronger case that handles top pressures and performs ideally at those pressures and gives you performance all out of proportion to its size.

Would you want one?

Well, there is such a cartridge, and it's called the 7mm saw, S-A-W, and today I've got the

man behind the cartridge on the line.

Clayton Smith, welcome to the show.

Hey, thank you, Joseph.

Appreciate inviting me on. Oh, you bet. I've wanted to do this actually for, thank you, Joseph. Appreciate inviting me on.

Oh, you bet.

I wanted to do this actually for a long time.

Ever since you loaned me at 25 Creedmoor long before it was ever called that for testing and valuation, geez, what was that 10 years ago?

Oh, it would have to be close to it.

I think you were evaluating our Switch Lug, which was released in the scene.

So, yeah, I would have to be eight, nine years ago, somewhere close to that.

And the crazy thing is, I mean, this was long before the 25 Creedmoor became legitimized,

but I shot that rifle out to 1,100 yards,

and to this day, it's one of the most accurate rifles I've ever fired. Incredibly, beautifully built,

and you and I had just a brief kind of in-passing conversation about your work with this little

short-action high-performance cartridge that you

recall in the 7mm saw. And it's kind of tickled my fancy from the back of my imagination ever
