[QUOTE="Tidesloe, post: 901618, member: 47761"] Hey guy's, I've been following this thread for awhile to see what everyone is doing with the STW's, as far as loads go. I have a McWhorter STW, with a load developed by McWhorter. This load shoots very well, I've been shooting out to 1000. Will probably push it on out farther next time. Anyway, I'm noticing that I'm running hotter than any I've seen here yet. I'm running 180 gr. VLD's at 3200 fps, 81 gr N570, 215's. No pressure signs, and case life so far seems good. I'm on my 5th firing in Nosler brass, and they appear to be still in about as good a condition as new. No sign that these cases need discarding. Have not annealed. What can I expect as far as barrel life with this load? I don't get to shoot often, as I've got about a 3 hr. one way drive just to shoot. I'm considering backing this load down a bit to extend barrel life, but with my hand load experience I'll probably have it shot out by the time I get to another load that I'm happy with. What do you guy's think? [/QUOTE]
