[QUOTE="7stw, post: 622970, member: 22854"] Welcome to the brotherhood of the STW! The bullet weights you have chosen, usually perform well in this caliber. With the 150's, 7828 is a good place to start. Something in the area of about 78 grains. With the 160's, the same powder will also work well, but if you have H-1000, that may be the ticket. I have a rifle that loves RL-22, even with 162 A- Maxes. Experiment with primers! You would be surprised at what works best sometimes. Overall, the best three powders that mine shoot, is 7828, H1000' and RL22. Typically, coal usually runs at max box length. Most STW's are free bored, and I am sure that Weatherby carries the same tradition. The STW is a amazing round, that is usually not fussy, and normally you can get it to shoot well before the barrel is burnt out. Have fun and enjoy. This is truly a awesome hunting round, that shoots nearly as flat as a 22-250! And that my friend is flat! AIM SMALL, MISS SMALL. lightbulb gun). 7STW. [/QUOTE]
