[QUOTE="TMR, post: 598792, member: 5819"] Jeff's 7mm STW experiences pretty much mirror mine. I was replacing barrels yearly when I was shooting them. 1000 rounds was about the tops to keep the accuracy I was looking for. Some of them that were run hard lasted less than 750 rounds. A guy will be better suited with a properly throated 7RM or the 7-300WM. The STW is a great round for the occasional shooter. For someone that shoots daily, it might not be the best choice, unless you do your own barrel work. My 7RM's with 180's run 3030-3050 in 26-27" barrels and everyone is getting around 7-8 firings on a case. I have been looking at doing a 7-300 to experiment, but not sure the extra 75-100fps in the same length barrels will be worth it. The extra velocity does give less elevation, but the windage is within 2" of each other at 1k. [/QUOTE]
