[QUOTE="dodgefreak8, post: 559926, member: 4965"] I have an stw in a ruger no.1 right now and I really like the round except for a couple things. One thing that made the stw stand out when I bought it was availability of brass. The RUM brass was remington only and stw was winchester, rem, and you could neck down 8mm brass from other manufactures. Now that being said I am finding the belt to cause problems with separation. There is plenty of info on this so do some research and there are special dies to help with this. I found myself wanting to build a custom rifle and started kicking the idea of a 7rum around until I looked at the ballistics of the 300rum with 200gr+ bullets. I can get almost the same velocity out of a 200gr accubond with a higher BC. This meant that out to 1000yrds I would have way more energy and the same drop as the 7rum with the 160gr accubond. I would add the 300rum to your list of choices side note if you aren't reloading there are far more choices of factory ammo with the RUM family [/QUOTE]
