[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 757464, member: 2736"] I've been putting holes through things with the stw for 15 years with two different rifles. My father has also has two of these, but he still has his first. Both of mine(and the one my father still has) will shoot under 1/2 moa with any brass you put into them. I've shot cloverleafs fireforming 375 h@h brass. It really isn't necessary to pre-fire your brass here( I would blow out [EMAIL="h@h"]h@h[/EMAIL] brass first because of the volume difference). You are peeing into the wind for the most part. Not to start an argument, just to clarify. I normally do not Quote a negative remark just the ones I think are good advice to keep a productive post, so bear with me. I have one of the first 7 STWs that were built when Lane Simpson first came out with it and we used 8mm Rem Mag brass because there was no such thing as 7 STW brass for years. In fact it was called a 7mm/8mm Rem. There also was a 30/8mm Rem. A square was the first to produce loaded ammo for it and I still have all of the brass I started with. If trying to get the best accuracy and brass life is peeing into the wind, I am guilty. My loads were 140 grain partitions at 3550 ft/sec and by not over sizing and annealing the necks I have not had to throw away any brass. My "starting" point for accuracy is 1/2 MOA and I have been able to squeeze 1/10th MOA groups out of the STW by careful loading and minimal sizing. So I,m glad you are happy with the performance you get. For long range hunting/shooting I feel that a 1/2 MOA group is the max group size and 1/4 MOA or less is a good goal for the sport. I only post my beliefs and methods to help those that are interested. NO ONE HAS TO DO ,OR FOLLOW THESE SUGGESTIONS. As a craftsman and a gunsmith I consider everything important to acheave the best and consider nothing as just "****ing in the wind" . J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
