[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 933881, member: 12995"] Twice the barrel life compared to a 7RUM, and book velocities don't lie. The Berger manual lists max loads for both 7STW and 7RUM with the same powder and the same bullets...They're within 10-20 fps of each other...I wouldn't call that blowing a nut. I'm pushing 180's @ 3,000 fps, and I'm not get ANY pressure signs. A 180gr bullet moving that fast is pretty impressive, especially not to have any excess pressure. Primers aren't even getting flattened. It's just shooting REALLY good right now, so I don't see any need to try to get more velocity out of it. I see absolutely no point in burning 19gr of powder to make up 20 fps...Not even justifiable for 150 fps, IMO. 200fps, maybe...But is 600 rounds of accurate barrel life really worth it? [/QUOTE]
