[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 845631, member: 61637"] bkondeff, Thank you for your thoughtful response. I am not really a skeptic of the STW. I actually looked to get one before I settled on my 7RM. It is really hard to find a 7STW in my neck of the woods, and I like to look a gun over before I buy it. In the end I went with the 7RM with the idea that it will become some larger 7mm caliber later. I do reload, so finding ammo is not an issue for me. Knowing that the brass is available, though expensive is very helpful information. I am also interested in the higher BC bullets, so your post was right up my alley. Thank you all for your responses. I have made my mind up to go 7 STW when the time comes. You all pretty much confirmed my gut feeling. It seems like the newest, bestest thing out there isn't necessarily better than something that has already come about. Thanks again! Joe One more thought. Would I see increases in velocity enough to warrant a 28" barrel over a 26" one. The extra few ounces do not bother me to pack around as I am big enough to carry it. My friends used to sneak rocks into my pack when we went backpacking (jerks). I am more concerned with ballistic benefits. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
