[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 262353, member: 2736"] I have both the 7 WSM and the 7 STW and like what each bring to the table. The 7 WSM is accurate,light and short because of the short action . The 7 STW is light ,accurate and has more recoil but with 140gr bullets is very flat shooting. As far as velocity my STW "standard" load with a 140gr bullet is 3528 ft/sec. The max load in my 7 WSM is 3213 with a 140 gr bullet. And on the feeding issue, the WSMs are more trouble to set up to feed good but it can be done. ( The WSSMs are worse ). If the belt has you bothered then look at the 7 RUM. It will add another 100+ ft/sec to the STW. It is hard to compair the 7 WSM to the 7 STW because they are so far apart in performance with the big/heavy bullets and with light bullets the STW is overbored badly .( My hottest 120gr load in the STW exceeded 3900 ft/sec velocity but accuracy suffered from over rotation, Just my 2 cents J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
