I have a 7mm barrel on order and have decided to go with the stw. It will go on a 700 action with a wyatts box. I just wondered if anyone on here has been down this road and could recommend a throat length which will work with the magazine and allow the vld to seat into the lands. I sent PTG an email and basically they just recommend sending a dummy round for measurement.
When trying to get the most form a mag box, how close can the cartridge length be to the magazine max length and still have proper feeding?
How do the 168 vld bergers compare to say the 160 accubond of maybe a 160 barnes in trems of seating length? If I cut a throat to maximize the vld and still want to shoot other bullets, where will they come out in terms of relationship to the lands? I am frustrated with the long throats that some with factory rifles and want to be able to get the most out of this setup.
Any help will be appreciated.
