[QUOTE="Torgenrud, post: 1038026, member: 87456"] I am new to this forum but have been lurking in the shadows for a while, so hi to everyone! Anyways, I think they are both excellent cartridges, I do not currently own an STW but will have one soon i'm sure. I do have two 7 ultra mags though and they are hands down my favorite rifles, both have 26 inch barrels, one has a muzzle brake the other does not. I mostly shoot the Berger 180 hybrids out of both and they both shoot exceptionally well. One of them I get very high velocity out of with the 180 moving at 3280 fps with a variation of about 20 fps using IMR 7828 SSC. The other shoots about 100 fps slower but both produce excellent accuracy and incredible ballistics. The recoil is also still less than my 338, it does have considerable muzzle blast but not unmanageable. As for barrel life I have over 600 rounds through one of them with no signs of accuracy loss so far. Also a lot of the reloading data is underrated for this cartridge. The 7mm Ultra Mag gets my vote, I think its an amazing cartridge, thats why I have two of them gun) [/QUOTE]
