    Cant say thanks enough for the help!

    My rifle is a Remington 700 Custom KS built in there custom gun shop. 24" barrel and a 1 in 10 twist. I have not shot any of the heavier bullet weights yet but plan to work up some loads once I finish tweaking my 150 gr loads. Would highly recommend IMR 7828 to start. It made a huge difference...

    Yes it is a 7mm STW and I didnt get him to check the crown and the barrel does heat up extremely fast. What weight bullets should I try and maybe some different powders? What about bullet seating depth would that be major factor? What range should be the best for shooting groups as far as bullet...
