[QUOTE="stmary, post: 248475, member: 14239"] It is a very good round but I feel the 338/378 is the better of the two. Stay awaw from the 7 mm STW if you are looking for more downrange energy to take down big animals. I have used the 7mm STW, the 7mm Ultramag,the 300 Ultramag, the 8mm Remington Magnum, the 325 WSM,the 8mm/378 weatherby, 30/378 Weatherby, the 338/378 Weatherby, the 358 STW and finally the 35/378 Real Guns wildcat. At 6 foot/ 180 lbs they are all fairly easy to shoot. In my opinion the 7mm STW does not need a brake. I start using brakes above the 325/ 8mm. I can't see any difference in animals(elk) hit with the 8mm/378 versus the 338/ 378 Weatherby but it takes a lot more time investment since you have to make these rounds up. Sometimes it is nice to simply go buy a box of ammo and go shoot. My favorite round is the one I spend the most time with and that is the 35/ 378 Weatherby, it puts 250 grains downrange quickly with about the same ballistics as the 30/378 when going thru 28" of barrel.
