the problem with the STW is the COAL . with all the long slick VLD style bullets coming to market , the bullet is shoved even deeper in the case .why not an STW, twisted 9 and outperform both by alot.

just putting out information, not bitching about someone else's post! I have saw many times the difference of bullet impacts on game between the 7mm RM and the STW, that 500 fps difference is incredible. Your post makes it plain there is 1 of 2 things going on, either you have zero experience with the STW, or you need to learn how to shoot. Which is it?they make 7mm PRC's too .
if you're buying I'm sure the OP will take a STW , stinky turd wounder . if he's buying , I think HE should buy what HE wants .

according to my notes from 1996, my Bansner 26" UR1 was running 140's at 3550 fps, 162's at 3340, and 200's at 3010 fps. according to my chronograph.500 fps difference? My goodness, not with respected "book" loads... They're more like 100 - 150 fps or so.

I will be doing same shortly but with the 162 ELDX bulletsI've just started loading for one of the 7 PRC's that Gavin built. Haven't shot it yet. I anticipate loading 140, 150, 160 and 175 grain hunting bullets.

Awesome!according to my notes from 1996, my Bansner 26" UR1 was running 140's at 3550 fps, 162's at 3340, and 200's at 3010 fps. according to my chronograph.
wildcat 200 gr hp's, made by Richard Grove, he sold the company and the new owner let it fall by the wayside, he also made a .257 156 gr. hp excellent hunting bullets.Awesome!
My 26" 7mm Rem Mag, using IMR 8133 or other slow burning powders is doing:
140's @ 3200+ (approaching 3300 fps!)
160's @ 3050 - 3150 fps
175's @ 2900 fps
All quite useful. Which 200's were you using? I didn't even know there were 200 grain 7mm bullets!

If I'm not mistaken, it was about temp stabilityanyone have hodgdon #26, check out the 140 gr load for the STW with
h1000, then go to the reloading data center and check out data with H1000 and the 139/140 gr.
then ask yourself, what did hodgdon do to H1000.
If I'm not mistaken, it was about temp stability
So is H4831 now but back then that extreme series didn’t exist. I have a couple pounds of old 4831 and [had] 1000 that don’t have that brandingwell its one of their supposedly extreme temp stable single base powders https://hodgdon.com/wp-content/uplo...-test-results-for-temperature-sensitivity.pdf
It’s hard enough to develop a load at 70* and getting single digit ES , Hodgdon specialists can develop loads for 0-125* with an ES of 4-10 fps with multiple rifles and powders , dang they’re goodwell its one of their supposedly extreme temp stable single base powders https://hodgdon.com/wp-content/uplo...-test-results-for-temperature-sensitivity.pdf
