I had a 7mm STW for a while, in a Weatherby Mk.V. it was a nice rifle, but only grouped well with 175 grain bullets, Sierra GMK's, Nosler Partitions, and Accubonds. Velocity average for both was 3,040. Being an Accumark it was a bit heavier than I wanted for mountain carry. And since my .300...

On one of my heavy barrel match rifles it does not seem to have any effect. On my sporter's, it definitely does. I work up loads until I get the accuracy I want. Then I check speeds and go with the best combo of accuracy, pressure and velocity.

Any good 7mm or .30 cal. Magnum type cartridge should do good. I wouldn't get to hung up on shooting an Elk at 1k though.

I have owned and used a lot of different scope brands. About the only brands I can think of that I have not played with are Hensoldt, March and U.S. Optics. Hands down S&B is the best I have worked with overall. The adjustments are spot on and unbeatable, always tracks true and returns to zero...

I had an all weather model, stainless, grey synthetic stock, .338 Winchester. It looked beautiful but I had numerous problems with it. Bedding was not done right so I redid it. Top of the action was slightly out of spec so I shimmed the heck out of the rear scope base. Then the bolt stop collar...

I have not tried 8133, I did try Retumbo in the following, .257 Weatherby, 7mm STW , .300 Weatherby, and .300 Super. I didn't have much luck with it in my rifles. However in the above calibers plus the .300 Winchester Magnum Hodgdon H-1000 worked splendidly.

That is so very true. After the deal fell through I set her aside. Then a swap meet came up at my local club. I packed her up with dies and brass and headed down. When I got there I opened the case to check the rifle and carry it in. I stood there looking at it for a minute and muttered aloud...

Deal fell through and I decided to keep her. :D

Rifle is sold.

Sorry but no, not looking for trades.

Jim is retired these days but he may still have a die set around. RCBS still shows them as .30 Super 30/8mm Rem. Mag. I know this because I bought one of his old personal hunting rifles in this caliber. He told me that the Weatherby brass was higher quality and worked better than the Remington...

Guys, much as I hate to I just posted my 7mm STW in the classifieds. Sweet shooter but it has to go.

Awesome rifle, hate to see it go but go it must. Factory original Weatherby Mk.V in 7mm STW. The man I got it from said he had exactly 100 rounds through it. I have fired exactly 120 rounds through it, all slow fire test rounds. This rifles seems to prefer heavy bullets and has shot best with...

Had a good day today, did some more load work. Have determined at least in my rifle thus far 160's just don't make it happy and that is ok. Once again 175's just seem to shoot really well. Two best loads today were as follows. #1 same as before, 78.0 H-1000, Sierra 175 Game King, Rem. 8 mag...
