you should expect about 1,160 M/sec | |||

You should be able to get velocities in the range of 3450-3600FPS. With the heavier bullet and the large overbore of the 7STW I would look to the slower powder of the two. | |||

My experience with the STW and both a 28" PacNor and a 28" Krieger with 168gr MK in a 1K benchrest rifle is about 3200 to 3300 fps. If you try to push it past that, the life of your brass will be considerably shortened. I was able to get 3400 with 168gr bullets, but the brass only lasted for about 3 shots before the primer pockets had enlarged so much, the new primers would just fall out. Winchester brass seemed to be a bit harder than Remington brass and would last a bit longer. BTW, the reamer used for both of these barrels is a custom BR reamer with and a tight neck and chamber dimensions such that there was very little room for the case to expand. The main reason I was so concerned with the life of the case is that I have turn the necks on all my cases and initial case prep is very time consuming for BR type shooting. | |||

My two 7mmstw's with 26" barrels produce just under 3300fps with 160gr bullets. | |||
