I've had a 4-16 Signature on a Sako 7-STW for about 10 years. No Problemo, man! Would buy again Z-28

Does the rate of twist 1 in 9.5 imply faster twist than say 1 in 12"? Thanks , Z-28

Anybody have an idea what the twist rate Sako puts on a 7mm STW ? it is on a TRG-s. I am looking to reload, and need to know if a heavier bullet(160gr)or lighter(140gr) would be better. I was told that it makes a difference .

Dakor, at the risk of soundig stupid, you said that 80-85gr. of h-1000 would get me there. Then you said if I wanted to use less powder, use 7828, or R-22. What is the difference in H-1000, and 7828/R-22? I would rather shoot the 140's for the sake of the inrease in velosity. With a chunk of...

I have a Sako TRG-S in 7mm-stw. I have heard or read somewhere that there might be some problems with the stock or the mounting points on the action. Do any of you have any knowledge of this? If so, what exactly what is or are the problems? What is the fix? I do not want to have the thing come...

does anyone have any good ideas where to start ? I am starting to work up a load for my sako 7 stw w/26" barrel. I plan to use 150gr Nosler Accubond. Any idea what the velosities are ? Thanks
