[QUOTE="TMR, post: 191109, member: 5819"] Well....I have both. It depends on what a guy is looking for and what you plan on doing with the rifle. I get 3340fps with the 168 Bergers out of my 28" STW barrel, and I get 3330fps with the 200gr WC out of my 30" Allen Mag barrel. For everyday shooting, the STW probably gets the nod. If you were starting from scratch and Kirby hadn't already done so much work with the Allen Mag, I would say the STW would be easier to load for. A guy can usually use Kirby's loads with the AM, and fudge the charge a little one way or another, and it shoots great. There is an incredible difference at 1000yds when the 2 bullets hit rocks. I did do a little work with the 180's in my STW, but I had 1000 168's to burn through first. Even with the 180's going around 3200, the Allen Mag still hit harder. Case forming is kinda a pain, but it is only a one time ordeal. I have given my STW to the wife and now use my 338 Edge and the 7mmAM as my main go to rifles. I don't see how you can go wrong with either rifle. [/QUOTE]
