i have both, i was just thinkin out loud is all. i'm a big fan of the seven. have all the big 7mm's, when i had my 7stw built in '94 i did all the research i could find . and as it is the 7mm is the most ballisticaly efficient bullet. i have p.o.'s books, i have bob hagel's book, which is sacred to me and all rifleman should read it. i almost went with the 7mm mashburn supermag until layne simpson's write up in "shooting times" on the 7stw. i even had a a sako built on the 358 sta, i eventually sold that rifle and it was a an elk thumper! would like to build a 257 or 264 stw even though they are WAY OVER BORE. gun)
