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.

Post by: H2Ofuzz on December 05, 2010, 05:32:22 PM: 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.

Post by: Gutpile on December 05, 2010, 05:37:13 PM: Is that a custom rig? I've been toying with the idea of a 7STW myself.

Post by: H2Ofuzz on December 05, 2010, 05:42:58 PM: Yes custom rig here are some more pictures.

Post by: Gutpile on December 05, 2010, 05:45:44 PM: Sweet. So is it a paper puncher or a hunting rig. Me no likey 10 lb rifles anymore. Who built it?
Title: Re: First Range day for the 7MM STW
Post by: H2Ofuzz on December 05, 2010, 05:58:44 PM: Built by a gun smith in North Idaho and it will be a hunting rig looking to make a 800+ yd shot.
Title: Re: First Range day for the 7MM STW
Post by: Gutpile on December 05, 2010, 06:00:13 PM: Nice, that'd be my choice of bullets as well. let us know how it does.

Post by: H2Ofuzz on December 05, 2010, 06:42:09 PM: I am also going to try the Burger VLD

Post by: beagledog on December 05, 2010, 06:53:59 PM: 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
