[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 708574, member: 48043"] I don't know how to kill a 7stw in under 1000 rounds without beating the rifle like a red-headed stepchild. It only uses a half dozen grains more powder then the 7rem or roy and runs right between the two pressure wise. As to the o.p.'s question about barrel life, it is terribly subjective as to conditions and user error(letting them heat and letting fouling accumulate), but I'd guess 1/2 of the barrel life from the 7rum as a 7 remington with the stw at 80% of the 7 rem's barrel life. If I were put on the spot I'd go 600-800(rounds) for the 7rum, 1200-1500 for the 7stw, and 1500-1800 for the 7rem/roy. All full throttle of course; back off a few percent and the numbers will go up.
