Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Have you ran any of those loads over a crony yet?
I'm pushing the 160gr accubond 3000fps out of my 7 rem mag.
I'd like to hear how fast the STW will push them.

Little to no kick at all with the muzzle brake and it being a 10lb gun. I have a 300 wsm that kicks twice as much. I put 50 rounds down range and cant even tell today. I have to run it through a Chrono yet but will this week i hope. I think i am going to be pushing 3200-3300 but dont know for sure.

Is that a custom rig? I've been toying with the idea of a 7STW myself.

Built by a gun smith in North Idaho and it will be a hunting rig looking to make a 800+ yd shot.

Nice looking gun
pic #2 is a nice group
800 yards would be a hell of a poke and a nice feather to stick in your hat
