[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 490475, member: 505"] I have a few 7mm wby's and 7mm STW's. Have shot them extensively since the 70's at long range. Yes the 7mm wby will get the published velocity. It is right between the 7mm rem mag and the STW. I have extensive loading data on these three. It is an excellent cartridge that I couldn't figure why it didn't catch on big. The reason is it was only offered in the Mk5 for all those years and at that price they don't sell like a cheap remington, winchester or savage. The 7mm STW will shoot faster than the 7mm wby. The 7mm STW is the one you want to build. It is an exceptional long range cartridge and I have used it's cousin the 7mm-300 wby to take animals up to elk beyond 1000 yards. Depending on which action you have the STW might need modification of the magazine to load long VLD bullets. The 7mm wby would fit just fine on your 300 winchester action and should feed well with the long bullets. Tell us which action you have and somebody on here can tell you how to modify for the long STW. [/QUOTE]
