To CanadianLefty sorry for steering off track but if you would like to see the same results let me know I will email them to you as well. Canadian you are looking for the same rifle I am weight and everything you are just going with to big of a case. The biggest 7mm I would go with is the STW for the reasons I have already stated. I have had at least one for the last 7 or 8 years and have shot lots of different powder/bullet combinations. Like I said if you want more info just send me a email.</p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="dakor, post: 64929, member: 2204"] I can believe the 160 has a lower bc then what is stated but what I dont believe is you trying to say a 7mm bullet will not shoot well over the 3050 fps mark and I think there will be a lot of 7mm shooters on here that would disagree with that as well. I think you are calling a 7mm STW a barrel burner and in accurate with very little experience on the matter.
