[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 167042, member: 2736"] [b]STW[/b] I started with a 7mm STW when it first came out and you had to use 8mm rem mag brass and the only ones to offer loaded rounds was A Square with 140's and 160's. I had the velocity bug "bad" and at the time there was nothing like it so I had a 31'' fluted barrel screwed on a Browning B 78 High Wall and went for all the velocity I could get from a 140 ,I managed 3592 but with max loads lost accurace until I backed off to around 3500ftsec.( still one of the bad'est boy's on the block). Enter the 7RUM. with available brass and more case capacity it will exceed the STW and is the current contender for the flatest factory cartridge offered and will clean up a STW chamber. With the new powders it will perform better with big bullets than the STW. My standard 7 RUM 140gr load is 3548 ft/sec in a 26'' barrel and little or no signs of pressure. one of these days I will screw on a 30'' tube and see what it will do. Just another option J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
