[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1003785, member: 2736"] I also have and use a 7 STW (I am a big fan of 7mm) and find them a little harder on barrels than other 7mm,s but that is because of there velocity (Normally very high) I washed out a barrel in less than 300 rounds, but I was pushing a 140 grain bullet 3700 to 3800 ft/sec in a long barrel. The current 7STW seems to be holding up very well with velocities @ or below 3400 ft/sec. so they are not bad if held to a reasonable velocity. They can be a little finicky, but with some effort with loads can be very accurate. Again, just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
