I've been using Norma brass, too. I haven't found much difference in using different brass, except Lapua. Lapua is the only one I've had issues with.

I've got a 7 SAUM that's shooting 160 grain Accubonds at 2835 fps. The 3 shot group is the size of a penny with a SD of 5.0 and a spread of 10. I can get in the 2900s with a different powder and good accuracy. After seeing Nosler's loaded ammo with a muzzle velocity of 2850 listed on the box, makes me think the 2900+ may be a little much in my factory 22" barrel.
Would you be happy with the 2835 fps or what do you think it should be getting? I'm not sure what the case capacity of the SAUM is but I'm running 150g bergers in a 7 Remington mag at almost 3200fos and it's shooting groups in the .120-.200 range. It's stupid accurate and a FAST. You might try another bullet because I think you should be able to get close to 3000 fps.

buddy of mine has a chrono, calls it the "crying machine" from all the folks crying because their loads were way slower than they thought they were. Load data obtained from 26-28" barrels is pretty hard to duplicate in a 22" sporter.

and I'll take accuracy over velocity any day, all day.

This is a good question.
Now what is the point of fast or slow if it won't hit what youre shooting at??
Accuracy is more important when it comes to shooting whether its on a game animal or target.
Target shooting can win you a trophy/money/recognition
Game shooting can put meat on the table/make for a good mount/give you bragging rites
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be

Y'all are all missing the point. One who hand loads can achieve fast and accurate. That's why you work out all the details. I don't think anyone loads a 5" spread fast load for the shucks of it. I load for speed plus accuracy. So really the whole point of this thread is silly. Go for both.

I'm pushing 130gr TTSX 3600fps the faster I pushed them the more accurate they got I stopped at 3600 because I was getting .3 to .5 groups and kinda like this barrel.

Accuracy is most important but velocity is also a consideration. With many cartridges, especially large capacity cartridges, the best accuracy is often realized at or near maximum velocity. If I can get within 100 FPS of the max listed velocity for a bullet/powder combo, I am usually satisfied if I have excellent accuracy.
