I am about to start the load development process in my STW trying out the 145gr LRXs. Where have you guys been able to find load data for the LRX? With the 145gr LRX can I start off using the 150gr TSX/TTSX load data in Barnes Manual? The powders I have to start working with are 7828ssc...

How was the on game peformance using the 180gr Bergers? Did you get exit holes? Was there much damage to meat on the offside of the shot? I have a load with 168gr Bergers loaded up for my STW to try once deer season starts here in PA. I like to hear as many first hand accounts as I can...

With the TTSX bullets they are supposed to expand faster due to the tip and the BCs are also better. Plus the TTSXs just look cooler with the Blue Tip. Haha

It seemed like alot of the loads I got from Berger were on the low end. But I will keep working with RL-25 and keep working my way up and see where it takes me.

I posted this first in the Reloading section but thought this might be a better place for it here. I have been a long time fan of the 7mm STW but this is my first time actually working with one. Yesterday I was at the range and started load development in my 7mm STW shooting 168gr Berger...

Hey guys. I have been a long time reader at this site but this is my first post. Yesterday I was at the range and started load development in my 7mm STW shooting 168gr Berger VLDs. The first batch of loads I was shooting I was using RL-25. The maximum charge Berger recommended was 75.3 grs...
