[QUOTE="7stw, post: 1433367, member: 22854"] You couldn't hsve picked a better cartridge. Ditto on the 8 twist, particularly if you are going to use the 175, and up grain bullets. I have have shot most weights, in various STW's, that I have owned. The most impressive was the 145lrx, Barnes bullet, driven to 3460, over RL25, and a 215 GMM primer. Flat, fast, and deadly, at any and all distances. You can't go wrong with a AB, Nosler, 160 weight. Barrel length, no less then 26, 27 is perfect. IIf your not recoil sensitive, skip the brake, as its recoil, really isn't that bad. Nothing like an Ultra Mag. Coal, is going to be pretty much whatever your box will allow, as most of the time, you won't be into the leade, anyway. If, you are shooting Barnes bullets, they like to jump any way. Get the best reamer you can find, PTG, or better, if there is such a thing. Most of the better known barrel makers, are putting out good stuff. I like Brux, Lilja, Schneider! Be fussy with your smith, there are some greats on this site, such a J.E. Custom, etc. Enjoy the ride, and visit the 7STW Brotherhood on this site as well. There's a wealth of knowledge there to be had. Enjoy! B [/QUOTE]
