[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1709717, member: 12443"] Well, back to my question as to “why”, when 3350 with an STW isn’t a problem with 162 or 168 gr bullets. 140s are for 6.5s imop. But yes you would need at least a 26” barrel. I have a 26 3/4” on a 7x300 Wby which is pretty much a clone as for velocity to the 7 STW. I can easily obtain 3350 with 162s Using 7828. Fact is the same load in another i have with a 30” barrel isn’t any faster. 3500 FPS using those bullets in 28” and longer can be reached also. I don’t see the point in rechambering to the larger case without the barrel it needs for max performance. Using lighter bullets just to achieve velocity numbers might sound better than than it would prove to be. [/QUOTE]
