[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 627054, member: 505"] Thanks for the thread. I have six 7mm STW's and have been shooting it since the 8mm rem mag was introduced in 1977. It gained extensive popularity through the 70's and 80's and then in the 90's when Layne Simpson got involved with it he thank goodness was able to get it names as a standard cartridge the STW. This is one of the best long range cartridges we have to work with. It is the largest case and most power in 7mm with any kind of barrel life. The 7mm RUM is slightly faster but blows through barrels pretty fast. The STW is just right. Basically what it gave us in 1977 was the very popular 7mm-300 wby ballistics with cheap remington brass. My rifles have 26", 28" and 30 inch barrels and I think they all have Mcmillan stocks. The barrels are from Douglass, Pac-Nor and Hart. I have numerous loads from 140-180 grain bullets with them. It is just a great cartridge to shoot and every long range hunter needs one if they are thinking about 7mm.
