[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 102385, member: 313"] [ QUOTE ] With a 6.5-300 Weatherby Mag, a 30" barrel, 140 Bergers and 83 grains of H-870, I was getting 3,400 fps. Swap the 140 Berger for a 120 Ballistic Tip, and I'd get 3,500. IMO, these cartridges are really at their best with the heaviest (best BC) bullets around. [/ QUOTE ] Just a note here. The 7STW will launch bullets of the same weight as mentioned and at velocities greater than mentioned in a 30" barrel. The barrel on the 7 STW would last longer if both barrels were taken care of in the same manner.
