[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 187079, member: 2736"] Tbone One way to improve on the 7 STW is to go to the 7mm RUM with a 12% increse in energy over the STW. I started shooting a 7 STW when there was no factory brass and you had to use 8mm rem brass to load for it. Once A Square started producing ammo it was a little better but thier ammo was a little expensive. When the 8mm rem ( A great elk cartrige by the way )all but died factory brass for the STW was available. Over the years it has dried up to the point that it is difficult to find. However with the new RUM series of cartriges brass should be available for some time. With the 7mm RUM you can use 7mm,300 amd 375RUM brass to reload with only some neck turning on the bigger cases. ( 338 RUM can't be used because they are shorter ). I love my 7 STW but the 7mm RUM can top it in velocity by 200ft/sec if thats what your in to and with 160gr or 168gr it really shines. Something to think about J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
