[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1342322, member: 12995"] That Ferguson dude got ran off the forum a while back, if I recall correctly, because of his insane claims about the 7mm STW, and something like 4,000 FPS or something insane like that. I would do your own load workups, and would give the Berger 115's a try, maybe with those velocities, you might give Steve over at Hammer Bullets a call, and see if he can build you a custom .257 caliber heavy bullet for your rifle that will meet your needs, and stay together. As for powders, IMR 7828, 7977, or Hodgdon H1000 might give you some good results. Also, check out Reloader's Nest if you need some guidelines for load data...
