[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 774451, member: 30743"] He's full of crap, you'd have to be running extreme pressures to get that out of a 7mm stw with a 140 gr bullet. I had a 7mm stw with a 27" hart barrel. The fastest I ever chrono'd a 140 gr bullet out of it was 3610 and it gave a very hard bolt lift and a flattened primer which basically fell out of the case. I never tried that load again and backed down several grains after that experience. My hunting loads I ran a 140 gr partition at 3450 and considered that as max. Anybody that claims 4000 fps with a 140 gr bullet out of a 7mm stw at any man-portable barrel length is a lying ***, a fool, or both. [/QUOTE]
