TOTO, Assuming you meant 7mm STW and running your numbers through Quickload, you are 6566 psi over the safe maximum load. Maximum safe load is 65000 your load is 71566. I also assumed you meant Reloader 25 for your powder. Could you please be more specific. Did the cases show any sign of high pressure? Sticky bolt, flattened primers?

Turkeyshooter, I appreciate you taking the time to run this for me . Yes it is STW and yes reloader 25. It has flattened primers, but most of my loads does. I think I will back off to 80gr. Thanks a mil. fws
