7 mm stw load for 160 accubond

[700 bdl]

A friend wants to load up some 160 accubonds in his 7 mm stw, do any of you guys have a good load? Any help would be appreciated.

Our most accurate book load for the 7mm STW with the 7mm-160gr AccuBond is as follows:
H1000 powder
Start : 74.0grs (most accurate)
Max : 78.0grs
As always start low and work your way up carefully.

In my 7STW with the 160gr AccuBond I had excellent results with 80gr of H1000. I had the same level of accuracy with 80gr of Retumbo and, presumably, had a lower pressure load.

As always ,you need to start with reduced loads and work up.

78 grains of Retumbo and 160 grain AB's shoot excellent in my STW.

Thanks for all the load info. I wrote them all down and gave them to my friend.

I load 77.0 gr of H1000 when using 160 gr partitions and it works great. This is what I use for all deer and elk.

I'm at 78 grs of RL25 with excellent accuracy--probably about 3,200fps MV. While not exactly the most demanding test for the load, it performed flawlessly on a broadside antelope shot at 160 yds so far this season.

Charlie-NY has more experience with this cartridge than I do. I plan to load some H1000 this weekend for a comparison but will hunt deer and elk this year with the Reloder.
