[QUOTE="malcarjeb, post: 199896, member: 5760"] I have a 6mm STW and It shoots great. Mine has a Shilen 29" 10 twist barrel on a Remington PSS action. I am shooting the 85gr. Barnes XLC at 4150, Swift Scirocco 90gr. at 4000 and the SMK 95gr. at 3850. All with excellent accuracy. The 95 SMK is VERY accurate all the way out to 500 yards. I haven't had a chance to try it any futher yet. All of these loads are very safe with no pressure problems at all. I am using the slowest ball powders as Kirby mentioned. Load development went very fast as everything I put through her shoot very well. I don't think I got any groups over an inch and most were 1/2" or less. So far I have not seen any more carbon build up than any of my other large overbore mags. I don't think I would want to use this as a varmint round because of barrel life, mine will be for deer hunting and should last a long time with only a few shots per year. This is if I can control myself and not shoot it alot, It is a blast to shoot!! [/QUOTE]
