[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 114759, member: 3728"] The 7 STW is one Hoss of a cartridge. One thing for sure, it pays big dividends to have your own reamer made to seal the gases behind the bullet instead of the gases blowing out around and in front of the bullet. Put those gases working for you instead of wasting the horse power. We have had fantastic results shooting the 140's at velocities that no one here would believe with extreme accuracy. We accomplish the extreme velocity and accuracy by doing the following: Pacific Grinding makes the reamer with minimal expansion over a loaded Winchester case which usually involves: .002 0ver Web dia .0005 over bullet dia in the throat .002 over loaded round neck thickness freebore to match the round that you want to shoot, with no bullet jump 1 1/2* leade angle This is a sure enough long range cartridge when a gun is set up right. I do not believe that it is in the class of the AM rifles for shooting 1000 yards, but if you are shooting 600 and under, the 7 STW will fill the bill! email me at keithcandler REMOVETHIS at msn dot com and I will tell you what Our long barrels are doing with 140's.
