[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 473273, member: 505"] I have shot most of those bullets in my 7 STW's. There is very little difference between the 140 berger and 168 berger out to 800 yards in windage but the 140 shoots a bit flatter. Beyond that the 168 takes over. The 162 Amax shoots best in mine at long range but it is a fragile bullet when hitting game and shouldn't be used on anything bigger than deer and antelope. The 160 accubond is an excellent big game bullet but is a little more wind drift at long range. I have also taken quite a bit of game with the 139 and 162 sst's and they kill deer-antelope size game like lightning. I just need more info to help you. What are you going to be hunting with it and at what ranges. Like I said I have had the best luck long range with the 162 Amax but don't use it on anything bigger than deer, antelope, caribou type critters. If you include elk then the 160 accubond, Swift scirroco or Barnes ttsx bullets do best and you just suffer a little with the bc. But the main thing is to have a bullet that will do well and kill the elk at the shot angle you are presented with. A great bc isn't going to do you any good if you just hit the elk and lose it. With the 30" barrel you could push the 180 berger pretty good for extreme long range shooting. Just give us more info. [/QUOTE]
