Well, tomorrow begins my adventure with the 7STW

[victor3ranger]

I got my 7STW today, thank you Shortgrass

Going to get the scope set up tomorrow and get some loads put together

Do you have a bullet and power inmind to start out with?

 

[victor3ranger]

I am going to start with Nosler 140BT's and Accubonds.
I have Winchester WMR, IMR7828ssc, and H1000 as the ones I hope I can get the most speed and find a good node at the top.
The twist is a 9.25 and it's 26" Shilean match

R25 with 120's, Retumbo with 175's in mine. Mine did not like anything in the 150's, 160's.

What is the twist on yours

What is the twist on yours

No idea I would have to look it up....factory Sendero from mid 90's. It shot 160 Grand Slams very accurate, they just penciled through on three elk. Turned it into a ground hog gun, and tried the 175ABLR. Now its back as a Deer/Elk rifle.

 

[victor3ranger]

This one is going to be mainly for whitetail

 

[Catskills]

7828 rocks with 140s and 160s. With the velocity the STW is capable of, I'd focus on Accubonds rather than BTs. Most of my loads have been focused on 160 Accubonds.

 

[victor3ranger]

I hope to stay with the 140's just for the speed, my hunting loads will most likely be 140 Accubonds

Good luck. STW is not bad to reload for. You'll find something that works. Have fun

That's awesome brother, can't wait to see how she does!!

 

[victor3ranger]

I am very excited to start pulling the trigger on it

If you have or know where some rl26 is 175s are king inthis beast.

 

[victor3ranger]

I have some 175 partitions but finding RL26 is like unicorn farts
