7mm STW Brotherhood - For those who shoot the 7mm Shooting Times Westerner

[Unclbuk]

78.5 grain of H1000,COL 3.645,average velocity 3210 FPS
The groups started to open up with 79grain+,windy crappy day!reload,reload,reload

Kinda looks familiar to what I would get from them. Tweak it and see if you can straighten it out. Let us know how you do. I was a 3 shot group guy for ever until I started second guessing myself as well. Then I went to 4 shot groups Incase I felt I may have pulled one. Still never got a clean 3 shot group from doing it thou. Good luck.

gonna be hard to beat the nosler
But these are about half the price
Meat in the freezer!

Maybe half the price for a reason?

You're going to think I'm crazy, maybe I am, but I've proven it to myself, AND others several times.
Take the very same load you have, and substitute your primer, with a Winchester, WLR, primer, NOT the wlrm.
That primer is plenty hot enough to lite your charge. I've tested this on several occasions, and noted that ES, and SD, dropped substantially.
I had one or two loads that dropped into singles. Groups tightened, and didn't get those annoying "fliers".
Give it a whirl!

Yes sir I'll do that,thanks.
We all a little crazy!

The problem is finding those dang primers

Mario, don't you live in the San Antonio area?? If so, call the Powderhorn on the west side of town (410/I-90). I bought a brick of them there not too long ago. Also, I saw them at Bass Pro recently

 

[marioq]

I live south of San Antonio. Brownsville area. But I will have my buddy that lives up there go see about that!!!! Thanks.

How is this the first time I've ever heard of this great piece of advice??!!?? I'm going to have to give Mr Bean some crap for not imparting this wisdom upon me!!!
So, I've only used CCI 250 primers. I just got my rifle back from bedding and it has the new barrel on it. I'm ready to do load development. Should I use WLR primers for all the load development going forward? Or, do I use my CCI 250's and see if the WLR's make a difference once I find my final load??

Years and years of experience. I first did that with my seven mag, and you wouldn't believe the results.
