[QUOTE="RobertB, post: 872210, member: 54582"] I have a custom 7STW and love it. I shoot 3 loads from it. A handload we developed for it. 160grn Accubond factory nosler ammo 140 corlok factory The remmy ammo is just always around and decent priced and we shoot it out to 400 with great results. The handload is amazing accurate. But I always stick with the nosler custom 160 accubond and I shoot it out to 1000 yds with great results. I have yet to take a LR deer with it as I trusted myself with my 300WM more when I was able to really do some LR hunting. Now I have no problem taking the STW. My rifle is light and recoil is nothing to me. My rifle is called the Delta Special built by David Christman: he advertises in most all rifle magazines. He is from Delhi Louisiana Components are: Bedded H-S Precision hunting stock, Shilen BBL (I think 28"), Old Style Remmy trigger, VIAS brake, Trued R700 action, DNZ one piece base with a bushnell elite 6-24 mil-dot scope. My friend had it built and got in trouble and sold it to me for $700 and its a shooter, I had $400 in the scope so I got a great deal. I wont burn the bbl out as its my hunting rifle and I practice with it but my data books show much promise in the rig as do the LR targets. We have a 1MOA flapper on steel out to 1000 yds and 21 MOA gets me there at 0'DA with over 1000 FT-LBS left in it. I have not missed that flapper many times. NOTE: this gun has shown me how to really be honest with myself and my data collection. Since the round is more expensive in ammo and bbl (and the light bbl gets hot quicker) I take more time really making sure all shots are GTG before sending bunch of bullets down range. After only 15 shots down the tube,(including zeroing new scope) I was getting 1st round hits past 600 on 1MOA flappers. The wind drift is amazing. Couldn't be more happier with mine. I think you would feel the same. Good LUck! [/QUOTE]
