[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 785227, member: 12995"] The STW is great, and I think everyone should have one. Just like a .308 Win. However, once you have both, and you have the 7's on both sides of the spectrum, you kinda want the middle-man, ya know? Which is why my next build will be a .280 AI. Plus, you can't beat magnum performance in a non-magnum caliber. Barrel life on the .280AI is also exceptional compared to 7Mag or STW. Don't underestimate the power of the .280 AI. It shoots .284 caliber (7mm) bullets, so you can load up some 168 VLD's or 180 VLD's in them, and probably get some excellent accruracy with a 9" or 9.5" twist barrel. My Sendero STW has a factory 9.25" twist, and it loves the 180 VLD's. However, if you want an STW, I am all for that. You can come join us over on the STW thread, if you'd like to get more opinions on them. The only draw-back I see now is that STW brass is about near impossible to find on the web or in stores, right now. [/QUOTE]
