I also ran 140's in my STW also and it was a laser beam and it hit like a lightening bolt.
No sir, kept it stockOP,did you rebarrel your Sako md75 ,Cheers
H50bmg has been good to me in my short throated 7rum. It's one of only a few powders than I can actually get decent case fil in and stay within pressure. The thing eats about like a 7stw; 86 H50bmg with a 175 eld-x nets 2900 fps. I never have really used it in the 7stw, but I or H 5010 was good with a 175 somewhere between 84 and 86 grains depending on the usual. Bullet, case, etc..I am yet to try H50BMG in mine with the 168g ABLR…have a myriad of loads to try with that powder in quite a few cartridges. The 264WM being another good candidate with my custom throats.
Cheers.
I've used a Lyman tool chucked into a drill and it's been fine for hundreds of cases. I had a hundred 6.5 creed import brass (S&B?) that was terribly uniform(weight, once fired length, etc.) but with very shallow pockets. The Lyman tool and Milwaukee drill to the rescue. Same with some ww 270 brass. Heck, I've got an older tool I use to scrape pockets lately. The newer tool cuts problem ones.The Nosler brass has been driving me nuts in that the primer pockets run shallow and I've had mixed luck uniforming the depths without impacting the width. I'm running Federal 215Ms.
I've never had anything walk away from 160 partitions!!!I run 7828 and 160 Partitions or accubonds at 3200.
Very very accurate combo in my stw.
Elk don't like it either....View attachment 462340
That's not my burn rate chart. Do you remember another with close to that burn rate??Very good group. I had better velocity running slower powder. AA8700 was very fast and accurate. I know it's not available anymore but try something in that burn rate and speed will pick up... only if you're wanting more velocity though.
That terrible esp with the price of that brass. I refuse to buy it at that price. Can't see spending close to $100 for 25 piecesI love the STW but haven't been able to wrap my head around not taking advantage of its velocity potential. I had some lots of 7828 that ran 160 accubonds at crazy speeds using Remington brass. Subsequent lots were over pressure. I've been playing around with RL26 and have had OK results with Nosler brass. They are neither as fast or as accurate. I've also noticed the RL 26 runs notably dirtier. The Nosler brass has bee driving me nuts in that the primer pockets run shallow and I've had mixed luck uniforming the depths without impacting the width. I'm running Federal 215Ms.
