[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 897302, member: 48043"] Of course as you go up in bore diameter preferred bullet weight will increase. Many of the heavyweight 7mm bullets today are in the 171 to 180 grain range with a couple of specialty makers going heavier than that. You'll need faster than a 9" twist to go over 180 grain by much though. It really depends on what you are looking at doing. The stw is [B][I]really[/I][/B] flat shooting with a 140 nos bt(or ab) at 3400 fps. You will hit harder and still have good trajectory with the heavier bullets though. I have a 10" twist barrel on my rifle so I limit my bullets to 140 and 150 grain. At present I'm shooting the 140 nos ab in rem brass with rl25 and 215's doing the work. Mudrunner and a few of the others are using 180 grain pills. [/QUOTE]
