[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 996436, member: 48043"] The stw is fast, but it is not fast enough to make a standard cup and core bullet evaporate or break up on close shots. You may get a pretty good amount of nose blown off of the bullet, but you should get the bullet to blow through deer sized game on 140 grain and heavier bullets. On 120's with their varmint construction, you might see a full break up. I shot a mule deer once at 50 yards with my 7rum and a 140 sierra pro hunter, and the bullet went clean through even hitting bone. I have a liking for the 140 ab in my stw, but you'll have to shoot them in your rifle to see what it likes. I've always been a fan of the 175 hdy, but I'm playing with the 168 berger and 175 sierra with the stw and rum lately to see if I can't get a better lr load together. [/QUOTE]
