[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1913026, member: 48043"] It seems the 7's really fall of when you slow to a 10" twist. I had a 10" twist tube on my 7stw when I got it; I could never really get anything over 140 gr to shoot well. The 9'ish" twist will usually shoot up to 180 grain rather well and both of my 8" twist rifles will shoot anything I shove in them stable... My 7stw with a 8" shilen tube still seems to like 140-150 grain pills better though. My 7rum is running 175 eld-x really well. I picked up a Tikka 7rem last fall for my boy with the factory 9.5" ? twist and it loves factory 175 Winchesters. My boy, not so much; I'm loading a mild 140 grain load for him at present. [/QUOTE]
