ramrod340I shoot the 140 Accubond in my wife's 7X57 and my 280DPK and 7stw. The 280 is 3145FPS and the 7stw is 3425. The hold up for everything we use them for. If I was suing the STW as an elk rifle I would look to the 160. Since it is a Laredo I have no desire to carry it in the mountains.
As usual just my $.02

buckshotI use 160 grain partitions and HPBT gamekings interchangeably in my model 70 7 Rem mag. With a stout charge of N160 pushing them to 3100 FPS, both bullets shoot to the same point of aim.
My Remington rolling block shoots Hornady's 175 grain round nose bullet well with 42.5 grains of IMR 4350. I haven't chronographed this load yet, but it does shoot well.

"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds. Get closer!

Reloader150 Grain Nolser Ballistic Tips
7mm Rem Mag, 66 grns R22, 3115fps at 12'
Shoots less than 1/2" and will flat out slam any medium game you put it against. I've shot piles of game w/ this combo and it has been consistent everytime, no tracking jobs when you use this load. I'd also like to note that I have never had this combo fail me on anything less than 500lbs. I never knew it was considered by some to be a bad performer until I read some of the BS on the internet.
Good Luck
