[QUOTE="Unertl Eyebrow, post: 1805758, member: 112739"] Hello, I'm glad I just now found this forum! But long time STW user. The rifles and our long range hunting equipment all needs some upgrading. We are getting 3 rifles re-barreled with 30" Hart, 1 in 9" each and new McMillan Game Hunter stocks. And definatley sicking with the 7mm STW. Looks like I have 350 pages to read! Because I am out of my long time stock pile of ammunition and no longer interested in loading... What is the best source for custom loaded ammunition for the STW? Particularly for 150 grain bullets. I was speaking with Hendershot and it seemed like he really would be able to load what we need but I have no experience with them. Who else is a fan of 150 grain bullets? My current load is 78.6 grains of 7828 @ 3360 fps. That was with Wichester brass which is no longer made. We used a tenth or so more for blown out .300 Weatherbys. What brass is the best? Is 7828 still the best choice for mid weight bullets? What powder charge are you using? I understand the potential of heavy VLD bullets but at this time not overly interested in fussing with seating depths or other quirks. Also most of our deer are killed at a range where the 150 grain bullet has an advantage out to 900 yards on deer that can be moving in timber making ranging them every few steps difficult. The 30" barrel should make for a scorching fast 150 gr bullet. 3500 fps plus? For the 1000 yd plus I might have a second recipe made up when I get some time to work on it. Thank you, Eyebrow [/QUOTE]
