I have 1-10 twist in my STW got a good load worked up with IMR 7828 and 140 accubond but I going to try some 162 gr SST and see if I get as good of groups with them

The SST's will be extremely explosive at STW velocities at under 500yds.

You'd be much happier with the results on game with the Interlock or Interbond or even the Nosler Accubonds.

I got some 175 sierra game kings loaded up with h870 to try figure 160-175 gr would be better at extended ranges..

Very nice and WELCOME to "The Brotherhood". Nice to see yet another guy smart enough to have a Mod 70 STW.

You aren't alone here as an Alaskan either, there are several others that frequent the site.

Can't I just get 8mm rem mag and neck them down then turn the necks?

Yes, but it's even simpler than that...You don't have to turn the necks. The first STW brass was 8mmRM brass simply necked-down to 7mm.

Nosler brass is not hard to find. Try Midway USA or Sinclair. I think it's more uniform than Win or Remy brass but also a hell of a lot more expensive. Except... win and rem can only be found used - 2nd hand so you may not get any consistency. I have 25 new Nosler 7mm STW I would ship, NIB for $60. I have more than I need at the moment.

 

[kyshooter74]

I'm waiting on a reply for some nosler if he don't take my offer I will take the 25 you have.

 

[Rent Outdoor Gear]

Sounds good, just shoot me a PM if you need them and we'll take care of getting you some brass.
