[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 843519, member: 48043"] 170-175 grain pills will net you 3000-3100 fps out of a 24" to 26" bbl. depending on propellant. I don't run many 168's but they should be 100 fps faster or more. It seems some of the older 7stw's were built with 24" bbl's; they suffice but'll usually be 50 fps short of the 26" tubes. I've seen 24", 25", and 26" bbl's in action and all will hit book vel. with select loads, but the longer the bbl., the easier it is to get there. My current 7stw has a 24" bbl. and my Dad's rifle has a 25" rem with the porting. The 7stw makes a good reach out and tag 'em round for mid weight pills too; I usually run a 140 at about 3400 fps for hunting. Low time of flite and banjo string trajectory with enough energy to knock down deer size game well. [/QUOTE]
