[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 575485, member: 29890"] The STW will have a shorter barrel life, not due to throat erosion, that can be cured with a slight setback, the problem is the amount of powder being burned causing the rifle to slightly pit and crack 4-8" after the throat and that makes accuracy fall off quicker, the reason I mentioned the weatherby is it has all the good things the STW has and none of the 7mm rem mag downfalls plus it has a superior shoulder design than the STW or Rem Mag. With factory loadings Nosler loads the 160 accubond to 3225, Weatherby loads the same bullet to 3250 for about the same price. Then when you do start reloading Weatherby/Norma brass is much better than the Nosler or Remington available for the STW. If I were choosing between the STW and Rem Mag I would take the Rem Mag just because of available components. [/QUOTE]
