Hey STW loaders I have a question. I just bought a Swarovski Z5 from a member here and it's coming with a couple of 7 STW dials. i am wondering if these might work with my 7 Dakota? I am getting 3050-3100 with the 180 Bergers and 175 ELD X I have not settled on a load. Just wondering if my speeds line up with what you guys are seeing.
Thanks
 
There is a good chance that the further you intend to shoot the gun the more inaccurate the dial will become. Out to 300, maybe 350 you might be close but beyond that it can be wildly different.

Etched dials have to do with MV, Bullet BC, scope height, and weather/atmospherics.

I would personally build myself an MOA based click chart that will be matched to your load and shooting conditions.
 
so i got the scope and the dial will not work as I am not shooting the bullet the dial was made for. Can anybody use a Swarovski Z5 custom Turret marked 7 stw Barnes LRX 14581.4 gens of N570?
