[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 732629, member: 29890"] Its long enough for all of those loaded to factory length. The 7stw is a waste over a 7mm rm, I don't personally think the extra 175-250fps gain given equal barrel lengths is worth the extra wear on the barrel, but everyone has an opinion. If you want something for long range that will fit decent in the modified mag, the 300wm and 300wby are your best candidates. With a 26" barrel for example the 300wby will do 3050+ fps with a 208amax or 210berger, look at the down range energy of that compared to any 7stw load in a 26" barrel. If you want a 338cal, I suggest the 338x375 ruger aka 338 Demon 2.5" case almost 100grn h20 cap, can push 300grn hybrids to 2700 fps and still easily fit in the magazine, basically duplicates a long throated 338rum but in a case that's .260" shorter. There is also the 7x375ruger 7mm Demon that will slightly outrun the stw with what should be better barrel life and .350" shorter. [/QUOTE]
