BighornBreath7mm STW Loads
Was hoping someone may have some good recipes for the 7 STW using 50 BMG or Retumbo and 160 Nosler Accubonds. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

BaldhunterI don't use the powders mentioned,but I've had good luck with 77grs of Reloader-22 and 160gr Accubonds and 154gr Hornady Interbonds.

wistrapperTry the "Find" function at the top of this page and type in 7stw. You'll find a lot of info for your query. I love the 160 Accubond over H1000.

ramrod340Sorry can't help you. I had tried 5010 in mine. Found that RL22 & 7828 gave basically the same velocity with about 12-15grs less and in my rifle much more accurate.

BighornBreathTrying US869. Worked up to 91 grains under a 160 Accubond. Not much info on the combination. Looks to be a half grain above max. Will see what's accurate.

BighornBreathP.S., Nosler brass, Winchester magnum primers.

BNagelFIL's load : [ Actually Federal factory load / 160 grain bullet shot great!]
150 grain Ball Tip (Nosler) and 72 grains H4831.
IMR 7828 shot worse (his pre-64 action rebarreled).

BighornBreathThis combination shot extremely well out of my rifle and averaged 3175 fps at the muzzle. Good luck to everyone.
