[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1096736, member: 12995"] Since we are now finally having a civilized debate at this point, with exception of that last remark, which I'll overlook, I would like to ask a few more questions picking out some things I noticed from your posts. And hopefully getting a civilized (non-angry) response in return. If the STW is faster (which you admitted in post #21, that it in-fact is) even with 2" less barrel by around 65 fps...Wouldn't that mean that it is technically still out-performing the 7mmRM in velocity and KE, even though not by much? And if it is still faster with 2" less barrel, then when comparing apples-to-apples both with 26" or 28" barrels, it would substantially out-perform the 7mmRM by over 125 fps (at a minimum), since it is already about 65 fps faster with only a 26" barrel, compared to the 7mmRM's 28" barrel... Now, I know you think I'm hating on the 7mmRM...I am NOT. I have been using one almost exclusively since 2002 for (inside of 500 yard) whitetail deer hunting. It is hands-down my favorite deer cartridge of all-time. I have other calibers for reaching out past 500 (7mm STW, .300 Ackley, etc...). Something about that cartridge is just magic on deer out to long distances, even with the 168gr bullets. [/QUOTE]
