[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 473575, member: 505"] I pulled out some of my loading notes on my 7mm STW's. One of my best accuracy loads with 140 grain bullets is 86 grains of 7828 producing 3547 fps average in my 26" barrels. One of my best loads with the 162 Amax is 83.5 grains 7828 at 3349 fps. With the 180 Berger 86.5 grains of H-870 at 3212 fps. Hope this helps some with where you are. I will add that with my 7mm-300 wby with a 28" barrel my accuracy load with the 140 grain bullet is 3645 fps and 3415 fps with the 162 Amax. It is very similar to the 7mm STW and was very popular until remington came out with the 8mm rem mag in 1977 and we all started wildcatting that case instead of the wby because of cheap remington brass. After nearly 20 years of strong popularity by many shops all over the country it was pushed by shooting times for standardization with the STW name. Factory remington 140 grain loads averaged 3469 fps out of my 26" barrels. [/QUOTE]
