[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2209142, member: 48043"] You get away from the .5" + freebore that the factory 7rums use and you can no longer use factory data. I blew the primers badly on a few casings trying to do just that. I settled on basically a top load for a 7mm stw in my 7rum using h50bmg with my 175 eld-x pills. I'm not going to push either rifle to the wall; I'm sure I could run either rifle to 3200 fps with a 175 but a couple % down gives a lot better bore and brass life. You will still be faster than the 7rem and 280ai and should be over 1K barrel life; my sendero was still shooting at 1400 rounds even though the bore looked a bit tired. [/QUOTE]
