[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 564249, member: 30902"] Well I'm not sure what loads he's using but you might want to do some reading up on it. The STW has about 10% more powder capacity than the Rem. As for take off barrels check the classifieds here and watch gun broker. Sometimes you can pick one up in good condition for a couple of hundred bucks. Heck you can get a new barrel from Kreiger for about 300-400.00. EDTA: Just checked my Hornady Load Manual and you should be able to easily get 200FPS faster with the same 180gr bullet out of the STW vs the 7 Rem. Personally I really don't see the need to go with the 180. I've shot the 139-152's in the hornady interlock and interbond clean through some really big hogs and Elk certainly aren't any harder to penetrade than a big boar. You can really make those weight bullets scream with the STW too ! [/QUOTE]
