Ijust bought a 7mm STW a couple of weeks a go.I'm getting ready to work up some loads. What is a good load for White tail size game.

i would go with a 160gr. sierra bt or the 160gr. nosler under on of the many slow powders like H-1000 or IMR 7828. but the 120 barnes might be fun to play with too

My neighbor has one in a Savage....we were going to start handloading for it but we havent found a Factroy load that shoots over 1.5 MOA most are under 1. It couldnt believe it when he told me so I had to shoot it myself. I'm going to do my best to buy that rifle off of him. If it were mine I would load 140 or 130 Barnes XBTs for deer or the T-shocks when they start shipping.But unlike Sask im thinkin I would put the bullet OVER the powder. let us know what you come up with
BTW Nosler # 5 suggests H4831 and Rl-19 for 140 and 150 grainers

I use 82.3 gns and a 140 sierra b.t.and 80.3 with a 160 gn sierra of H1000 Don't forget and reduce thease loads and work up

My gun a Remington 700 sondero if that help you all out any.
Thanks for the advise.

I got my die in the mail and the seating die was missing so back to Natchez thay go. Just my luck that slowed down my shooting for a week or two.

Thanks for all the info.

82.5 grns. R.L. 22, 120 grn. Nosler B.T. 3600f.p.s. Mine is also the Sendero S.F. That's maximum load for me. Bolt's kinda hard to open!

I like to work up a load for one bullet type in my rifles, then I shoot that load for everything. The bullets of choice for my STW are 160gr Partitions. On top of a fair sized pile of RL22, it'll mosey along at about 3275fps and stay inside of 3/4".

I have a 7mm stw. 74.5 grains of H1000 pushing 180 gr bergers@3100 fps. Excellent accuracy, course the fps could probably be linked to the 34 in barrel.

79 grains of r22 and 140 grain partition works very well out of my custom sako.

160 gr speer bt on top of 82 grs of Retumbo &sparked by a CCI 250.
