[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1990974, member: 48043"] yes, but other factors such as muzzle blast are at play too, so in a shorter barrel powder choice isn't quite as cut and dry as just using the best powder for a longer barrel. The speed will be the best, but if it isn't accurate it's still no good. I just put a striker together in 7-08 with a 14" bbl. including brake so it'll make a 20" bbl. for a 7stw seem long. As to retumbo or h1000 in a stw... I've never gotten good speed out of h1000... I'll burn that in a 300win on occasion but it's been 20 years since I've done that. I prefer rl25, but retumbo with a 183 is what I've been playing with lately. I haven't even set up the oehler; I barely care about speed anymore. I'll check for uniformity one of these days. Prolly shoot the 7-08, my kids 7rem, my 7rum (175 e;d-x), and the 7-08 at one sitting. [/QUOTE]
