[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 755057, member: 12995"] Yes, 7mmSTW is a very efficient round. I reload for mine these days, and shoot 1 ragged hole groups at the range out of my factory barreled Remington Sendero SF. I shot a whitetail with it about 10 years ago within 100 yards using some Fedral Premium ammo factory loaded with 160gr Sierra GameKings, and it was ruthless on damage. Never took it deer hunting again b/c of how much meat it ruined. Did more research on the caliber later on down the road Federal started loading the 160gr Nosler Accubonds in a factory load. Shot those, and never looked back. Accubonds are the best hunting bullets I've ever found. I shoot Accubonds in everything I hunt with. I know plenty of people who use that caliber to hunt in Africa, Canada, Alaska, Midwest, Texas, etc... It'll take anything on the continent. Recoil is surprisingly not bad for how large of a caliber it is. If you plan on hunting Elk or smaller game at greater than 300 yards, and don't want to ruin much meat.....7mmSTW with some 160gr Accubonds will be your meal ticket, IMO. gun) Alot of folks dismiss the cartridge, Alot don't even know what it is or never heard of it. Some prefer huge recoil and lots of noise from the RUM's. But IMO it is one of hte best (and most often overlooked) long-range medium to large game calibers there is. [/QUOTE]
