[QUOTE="antitactical, post: 861781, member: 52795"] My buddies and I have been working on this. A couple of us have 7mm stws (i am not trying to convert this to another stw thread). With this cartridge we have come to the conclusion that the 180 Berger shoots its best in the 2950-3050fps range. Push them any harder and they scatter. Meanwhile one guy has a 168 Berger running at 3450fps in a long barreled bat actioned model. I believe that the extra 450fps outweighs the 12grains of bullet weight or roughly .04 b.c increase. A good ballistic program will really help with these choices. I personally would go with the 190s in your situation. [/QUOTE]
