[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1367628, member: 12995"] I've got somewhere between 500-750 down the tube of one of my 7mm STW's and it's still shooting as good as it ever has... Sub 1/2 MOA. And I'm not running light loads by any means. My other STW was built in 2013/2014 and has still never been shot. It was built on a 7RUM action, so I might rebarrel it to .28 Nosler just to diversify and see what all the fuss is about. If I do, I will be keeping the STW barrel, that way it's already headspaced and I can swap it back on later if I want to. What powder was he using? That could also have had a bit of an effect on his pressure spikes if he was using the same powder each time he ran a ladder test. Also, if he suspected the barrel was at fault, I'd have contacted Proof and had them send me another tube for free, because you just wasted that whole one from manufacturing defect. Not to mention that 500 rounds worth of components, and time... [/QUOTE]
