[QUOTE="jweigel, post: 1341356, member: 72021"] I just rebarreled my Sendero 7STW going with a 30" finished Bartlein in 8.25" twist. I have a 4" mag box. My chamber ended up being very close to SAMMI headspace wise, I have all the info here. [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/7stw-refresh.191205/[/URL] I was testing drops this weekend at it looks like the speed is closer to 3100 FPS with 78g of N570. I was up to 82 grains which was well into 3200 fps land but woudl be hard on brass. I am not sure throating longer is really needed. I think the twist is the magic with this bullet. Even at 82 grains with the bullet at .030 OTL or 3.150 CTOL with an COAL of 3.900 I was not touching the powder with the bullet when seating. 7STW is a cool and very capable caliber, especially with the 195 weight bullets.
