[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2715887, member: 122164"] Truc, we have a long barrel 7 Rem mag that we are shooting the 160g Sierra BTSP at 3100 with Retumbo, it is a very deadly combo, but primer pockets do not last long in the Rem brass. For the other 7 mags, we shoot the 160g Sierra btsp around 3000 +-/(R#22), and in a BAR at 2950(IMR 4831). I shoot a 280 Rem with the 160g BTSP at 2900 with a load of IMR 7828(Fed 210), load right out of the Nosler manual #4. They have had to dumb down the 280 Rem loads in manuals due to semi-auto and Pump Remingtons. The 160g Sierra is one heck of a deer and hog-killing bullet, with massive internal destruction and penetration. In the 7 STW, there is an accuracy node with Winchester brass with the 165g Game changer at 3450. My cousin is shooting a custom 28 Nosler(X Caliber 9T, 25" barrel), and we just got through working up a bug hole load with ogive sorted 162g ELD-X seated very close to the lands at 3230fps with Retumbo and Fed 215's, AGD brass....never killed a thing with it. I mention this because the 7 STW and the 28 Nosler have almost the same identical case capacity [/QUOTE]
