[QUOTE="jasonco, post: 1280327, member: 15637"] @Nitro 375. H5010, there might be a can here or there? I still have 5lb of it from an 8lb lot when I started load development of my 7STW. It is a bit temperature sensitive, but I settled on a hunt/1000 yard load of 80gr at a "tame" 3100 +/- fps at CO altitude, that can be safe in summer and not to slow in the fall. I got some of the H50BMG loaded for testing in new 8RM cases, with the Berger 180 Hunting for load testing, ready to go down range. The 160gr Nosler partition with H5010 gives awesome results. H1000 and the 140 Ballistic Tip, at a relative mild load in my tube, @3400fps is a laser. I tried the 100gr Sierra Varminter once and only once, they never made it to the target...vaporized. I'v had a 7RUM and it was past the point of diminishing returns and just plain violent to shoot with all bullet weights?! So yeah, the 7STW is an awesome 7mm cartridge, that get's it done without even making a sweat I think. I did recently switch to the 6.5mm in Creedmoor form and now I'm in need of a 6.5STW.....gun) [/QUOTE]
