<Big Foot 15-4E>In need of loads for 7mmSTW
I know there is at present a thread that some what covers my question, but none of my manuals have ANY loads for 7mmSTW. I would greatlt appreciate anyone who has loads for 7mmSTW for 139 & 154 grain Hornaday SP Innerloks or bullets in simmilar weights posting them. I am interested in non-compressed max or near max loads. Accuricy is my A#1 most inportant factor when developing a load. I have a Savage 116FSAK, and like Federal primers, but am open minded to different components. The powders I have are IMR-7828, IMR-4350, IMR-4895, R-22 And R-19.
Greatest of thanks for all input.

<Big John>Check out hodgdon.com and imrpowder.com
These sites have some load info for their powders. Also try centerfirecentral.com they a "pet load" section with lots of calibers. Be careful, these are reader posted and loads and the normal precautions are advised. What rifle are you loading for? I am working on loads for a Sendero.
Good luck.

<Big Foot 15-4E>Just want to say thanks to Big John, and William for the input on the 7mmSTW. I will head your advice on the mid range loads, and give the combos you both listed a try.
