[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1770685, member: 3728"] I am on my second 7 STW reamer with zero freebore. We shoot 140g Nosler combined tec bullets on an 11 twist at 3650 on 27" barrels, brother has three, cousins have several. Groups are 2.5" or less at 600, and brother let me tell you deer flop near and far. We have never had a surface splash, never. Cousin shot the 120g Nosler solid base lead tips at 3850 for years out in Missouri, then he ran out of them. 7 STW is the equal of the 28 Nosler in ballistics. We put up a food plot 500 yards away from the ladder stand, and dubbed it the stw stand. No telling how many deer have been killed out of that stand as the food plot is remote and half way up a gentle slope near a buck trail. We usually have little wind here to contend with, unlike the folks out West where a 10 mph breeze is a calm day. Accuracy with the 140g c/t in Win brass with fed 215's and 7828 is in the high twos and low threes maximum at 100 yards and 300 yards, groups are 3/4". We are using high power scopes. A pard borrowed my reamer and he is shooting 140 ttsx, he has had more deer run off in the area of 450 yards than me and all of my family members combined. He is running the 140 ttsx at 3500. Speed Kills! Permanent stretch from wound cavity is tremendous at speeds I am talking about. Pard is shooting the 165g Sierra game changer at 3300 out of his 7 stw with short freebore with good success. Since the OP is talking about 700 yards being a max, chances are the vast majority of his shots will be way less than 700 yards, which is why I am bringing up the issue with these lighter bullets. A std 7 Mag with a 28" barrel will shoot the 162's at 3200 fps with extreme accuracy. Best of luck! Depending on what part of the country you hunt, it may be advisable to go for speed vs BC, depending on the distances you will shoot. Do your homework on a ballistic's program, do your due diligence.
