[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1339634, member: 12995"] Yessir, they sure did. They really de-rated the STW and RUM in their manuals...Even in my Nosler 7 manual, which has been in print for several years before the Nosler cartridges were even invented. But check out the powder charges listed for the .300 Weatherby in the Nosler 7 manual... WAY up there compared to the STW. They have the STW only holding like 11 grains more powder than the 7mm RemMag in the manual. It's blatantly obvious they're sandbagging the STW big time. Also compare the 7mmRM vs the 7mm Wby Mag with the 160 grain bullets and IMR 7828... 7RM (64.0 gr) and 7Wby (73.0 gr)... Are you joking? Either the 7RM was being sandbagged, or the 7Wby was being loaded REALLY hot. 7mm STW & 7RUM... IMR 7828 with 160 grain bullets... 7mm STW (75.0 gr) and 7RUM (85.0)... Once again, either they had really crappy brass and a really poor chamber, or the STW was being loaded low on purpose, RUM looks low, too. [/QUOTE]
