[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1097352, member: 48043"] I finally got my shilen barreled 7mmstw on paper yesterday. The 180 sierra hpbt with rl26 was capable of 3150 fps without pressure issues, but the best accuracy was at 2900 fps with a .980" group at 200 yards. It also shoots the 140 nosler bt (pushed by rl25) to 3340 fps at 1.080" at 200 yards; that was the load the last two rifles ate so I have 350 of them loaded. I will be working the sierra up with rl33, rl50, and h50bmg in the next couple of weeks to see if I can get another couple of hundred fps with good accuracy. rl26 seems to be a bit fast burning for full throttle accuracy with heavier bullets in this chambering.
