[QUOTE="Guest, post: 46106"] Big Bore, I have a 7STW and I shoot the 156 Cauterucio bullets. So I like where speedbump is coming from. I also shoot a 338 lapua with 300 SMK's. Notice I shoot the heavier bullets for caliber. (by the way the 156 cauterucio has a bc of 615) I would shoot the 176 but with the 9 twist krieger I have it shoots the 156's great. So if it aint broke I dont fix it. Anyway, forget velocity! Dont be a velocity freak. The heavier higher bc bullets are more accurate. I love my flat shooting 7stw and my not-so-flat 338 lapua. The thing they have in common is that at longer ranges the wind is the big issue not the elevation. So I higher bc pill is better. I shot 140's in my 7stw and they shot like crap. Now I shoot 1/2" with the 156's. Buy a rem 700, rebarrel in 7 STW with a nice 28" lilja, krieger, shilen, or whater qualty barrel you like. Use a 9 twist and shoot those 156 cauterucio's. (I'm suggesting these over the 176's since you like the faster flatter shooters). Also restock with a Mcmillian remington hunter stock while your at it. Unless you want a tactical stock. Good Luck!
