[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 916567, member: 48043"] There's a reason that rem went with the shortened h&h case instead of bowman's 7mm. The 7rem actually does nearly as well as the stw when you are running mid mag powders in both. 4831, 7828, rl22, etc.. don't really let the stw shine as they are a bit to fast for full case capacity at max. pressure loads. Now, if you are using at the fastest rl25 and retumbo, you will notice at least 100-150 fps more from your 7stw. I suggest 85-86 grains rl50 behind that 180 (ham)berger you like. Btw, my brother's the same way as you are about the 7rem vs. 7stw but with the 280 and 7rem. He had a 7rem that would shotgun instead of group at any load that was faster than his 280's have done. I've never seen a 7rem do well (accuracy) at better than 3200 fps with a 140 and 2800 fps with a 175, and that's at least five rifles. Not saying you can't get a diamond out of a goat's rear once in a while, but I've traded much of my 7rem brass away for a reason.... I'm just not going there again. [/QUOTE]
