[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 61151, member: 10"] Dakor, No disrespect taken at all. I know full well what the 7mm STW will do and it is a great round. Is it a 3900 fps round with a 140 gr bullet in a 27" barrel? Your load of 82.0 gr sounds very logical to me as a max load in the STW but we are talking 7 grains over your max load. Again, this is not a performance issue really with me at least, I just hope someone out there does not try to get 3800 fps with their 26" barrel and something really bad happens. THis is all I am saying. I would like to compares some ballistics though. In a friendly manor of course [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img], What load do you have in a 30" 7mm STW that will drive a .820 B.C. bullet with a S.D. of .337 to a velocity of 3350 fps. This is a comfortable load in the 257 AM with the 156 gr ULD Rebated Boattail over a top charge of 8700 which is around the mid 90 gr level. There, I set myself up to get hammered!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I know there are 100 long range rounds that in skilled hands and a good rifle will do amazing things at extreme range. My Allen Magnums are just three more to throw in the pile but for these three calibers, I have never seen anything else that would come close to touching them. And there are very few rounds of any caliber that will out perform them Ballistically. Still, I know full well that its the pilot not the performance that gets the job done. SO hammer away, I'm ready to take it!! Again, this is more a safety issue with me. Not a "whos the fastest" issue. My 257 AM is still faster then his 257 Wby load, although not by much [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]!!! Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
