I think the 168 grain and the 150 grain are available at Cabelas right now.
Midway just bumped LR accubond delivery to September

I guess they sold out of the 168 then.

I just talked to Nosler and the BAD NEWS is Nosler has finished producing the 7mm 168gr. and the 7mm 150gr. bullets for the season and they will start producing them next Spring 2014.
So, if you can find the 7mm 168gr. bullet I would buy them or wait until next Spring and hunting season.
They said that they will start producing the 7mm 175gr. in 30-45 days so we will start seeing them close to November.
I also talked to Mike at Nosler (he is the only tech in the reloading dept.) and he said the 9.5" twist is recommended for the 7mm 168gr. but the 7mm STW velocity is so fast that the 10" twist would be no problem. Mike thinks the 7mm 168gr. is going to be perfect in the 7mm STW.
The 7mm 175gr. would probably be pushing it working in a 10" twist.
