[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 26230, member: 8947"] The case is about 10% bigger then the 7STW, which is already hard on throats. Performance will be about 100 to 150fps more when long barrels are used. Definitely use it for 162gr and heavier bullets in 28" and longer barrels. In shorter barrels or with lighter bullets, you are just going to make a lot of noise. You are going to be limited to the H870 or WCC 872 for max performance with these heavy bullets. Barrel life would be in the 1000 to 1500rd range. I am planning to put together an STW in the future. That is as big as I want to go with a 7mm bore. Enjoy... Jerry [/QUOTE]
