[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2208799, member: 10755"] Having played with a Rem 700 SPS when the 7RUM came out, for the amount of powder used and the ACTUAL velocity we got from both factory and handloads, I will have to say the STW is more efficient than the RUM. Having gone out this past weekend to shoot a few seating depth loads with the 168g ABLR in my new STW, before getting thoroughly bogged to the diffs in my 4x4, I think the 9.25” twist on my rifle is just too slow at the elevations I hunt at. The rifle shoots fine at just above sea level, but changes both velocity and drops at 3000’-4500’. My other rifles I was testing do not do this, had my 300WM Sendero and 375 Bee with me and they both shot as expected. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I am using Retumbo and it has gone very cold here already, temps on the day were 3°C while I was shooting. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
