7mm STW - range results

[444shooter]

I didn't want to hijack the other thread

Decided to take my Ruger #1 out to test some reloads, and seems like I found a shooter!
Load is 160gr Accubond, 80grs RL25, R-P brass. This group measures .86" at 100yds. Not bad for my first load trials.

I had two Remington rifles in 7mm STW back in '93 when they first came out. I did like the caliber , but not the meat damage that it created on game.I didn't shoulder shoot moose but still ended up with a lot of splatter all through the animal. It may be better now with Accubond's and Barnes, but the typical bullets of the day were very messy when teamed up with the hyper velocity of the STW.It didn't kill any better than the standard 7 mag so I sold them and never regretted it.

The real question is - what's the velocity?

Stw

NO I don't think so.
That thing called ACCURACY is what separates the men from the boys!!!!!!!!!!

If sample targets are shown accuracy is not the question.As such the real question is

what's the velocity?

Agreed. The accuracy your load shows is good, but not any better than a decent 7mm Remington Magnum or 7-08, for that matter. What separates the STW and the other super-magnums from the pack is extreme velocity. Hopefully, you're getting it.

Im gonna bet you are exceeding 3450fps...............

We should start a poll.

 

[Curt]

My guess is ~3350. Maybe we should set up an over/under type of bet?

 

[ivo]

I'll chime in at 3390.
