I have went through a few rifles it the past 4 years trying to get one that I absolutely trust. Finally there now. I had a 300 wm in a fierce that my cousin has now(shouldn't have sold it). I had a cooper 7mm stw but with no muzzle break it was not enjoyable to shoot so I sold it. Both shot...

Hello all, I just found a load with the new stw and was shooting at longer range to see what the groups were like out far. The groups are a little more to the right of what I was expecting at 650 yards, so I thought I'd ask some more knowledgable people. If any of you are willing to help...

Yeah everything is tight on the rifle, checked that more than once just to be sure. Ive been using a lead sled most of the time cause I know I'm not pulling on that. Factory shoot good so I'm thinking my hand loads are the problem.

Barrelnut - the consistency bullet to bullet could very 10 thou or a little more. I was using federal brass at that time. I just got new nosler a couple weeks ago. The billets are tight, can't move them

I just checked my seater and it isn't the problem. The vld fit in it fine

flashhole -I did try retumbo behind 210 lr accubond. Worked ok, had some alright groups and then some bad ones. Barrelnut - they gave me the length to ogive and calculated it, it was touching the lands, my actual coal was very inconsistent maybe I am using the Hornady seater as well, that...

westcliffe01 I'm just trying to get an accuarate load with a decent bullet for hunting I rigged up a nut to measure head spacing(worked pretty good for a farm boy!) and yes I'd was working so that it barely bumping the shoulder back. I've tried berger(with the load that came with the rifle)...

I'm talking about the best group to be 2 1/2- 3" at 200 yards. I did the load work up consistently just as you said. I just ordered a concentricity gauge and waiting on it to come in. I may not be lubing the inside of the necks enough. Sometimes are pretty stiff.

I have reloaded for awhile, mostly 223. My 223 was easy and shoots one hole @100 yards, my 22-250 shoot under 1/2 MOA(took awhile but I got it there). Im trying to reload my 300 win Mag and my 338 lapua. The 300 is a fierce titanium edge and the 338 is a wheatherby Mark V. The 300 shoot factory...

Hello all, I've been having trouble getting a bullet load combination. so i thought i would try to slow it down a little and try the 175 game kings. barrel is a 1-9 twist. Does anyone have the load data for these bullets??? can't find them anywhere. ill be using imr 7828 mostly.

I can't find load data for these anywhere. I've been trying the 140 and 160 gr accubonds and they don't seem to be grouping as well as my gun should. I ordered the 145 and 168 gr LRX in hopes that my gun likes them better and still have some long range performance. I have a Cooper 7mm STW 26"...

Ok thanks for the reply. I maybe should drop the powder down a little. I just go by primer for max. And when I got to 80 I just said it was high enough and didn't want to push my rifle to hard. Tried out the 160 gr accubonds and they look a little better and I can find more.

I finally found a load that will shot good in my 7mm STW. It is over book max at 80 gr of IMR 7828 with 140 gr accubonds, the groups tightened up nicely to 1/4 inch. since i can't find any anymore accubonds and only have 20 left i thought i would just shoot the BT for paper punching since the BC...

Just bought a cooper M52 7mm stw and am wondering what others recommend. i have 140gr and 160gr Accubonds on the way. I like the accubond bullet but unsure what weight i should use. Im only shooting out to about 600 so the energy is about the same with both at that range. The barrel is a 1 in...

The books say that imr 4831 is the most accurate powder that barnes tested so I thought it would be fine and I had 4350 on hand too. Powder here in alberta is sparce and you can hardly find any. I would try different powder but have none to try. Also I am kinda a rookie reloader. So I am still...
