[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 1038293, member: 68226"] I have ran them as fast as 3200 in my lowly 7mm Rem. I know you do not believe it but the 7mm is more efficient and can hold more even barrel pressures when done right than the STW. I was a gunsmith for over 40 years and the Rem guys got it right when they did this case at that size. Load with 180gr hex coated Berger, Modify the throat to accept the coal to 3.5,.050 off the lands. Retumbo loaded up to pressure signs in a 28 inch Broughton 5C. Win Mag primer. 3200 fps! 3 loads and the case is done. Back it down to 3150 and 6 loads is easy. I have checked this my drop values and by the Magento. This is a true, honest, no internet BS, FPS speed. [/QUOTE]
