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

[Dano1]

I found my 7 STW in gun shop this last fall. (Sorry to those who have heard this befor an seen the photos on other threads.) It is some what of a mystery as I don't know who built it or the barrel make. However here are the other specs:

Remington 700 BDL built in 1962 first year 700 with a 5 didgit serial #. It has a 27" Sendero contour barrel (1-9" twist) with a Stainless Vias brake installed. It has been completely blue printed and the metal work and blueing is flawless. It was in it's origional stock, but now wears a H-S Precision Old style Sendero Stock and just got new bottom metal.

It's now wearing a V-XIII 6.5-20x 50mm Leupold scope with Warne Maxima rings and bases..

This is the Rifle as I recieved it, It hadn't been fired in at least 10 years and bore is perfect.



This is what it looks like now:



I'm working on loads specifically geared around the 180g Berger VLD using Either Hodgdon's US869 or Retumbo.

I haven't had the opportunity to shoot the test loads yet.

I have shot 160g Sierra Gamekings pushed by IMR7828 and they shot aound 3/4" It should do well.

Great reads! I am currently in the process of a budget STW build off a savage action, broughton barrel, rifle basix, and b&c. Going to be a mid weight elk rifle but if it shoots as good as my smith makes my other long guns shoot......... I may be spending more time behind it.

It's nice to pick up a rifle that shoots pretty good from the start, it will get better I'm sure.

I can't say enough good things about the STW.
For my needs and wants its the perfect Seven.

Here's a stock Rem 700 SPS chambered in 7STW, only mods are a Wyatts box so I can shoot VLD's and a 700 Ti stock I painted. Rifle weighs just a hair over 8 lbs. 4.5x14 LR mounted.

I was lucky and found 500 pcs of Winchester brass for it. And no, none of its for sale!

168's at 3,200 RS Magnum is a great accuracy powder for this cartridge.

Tell me about this "wyatts box". Does it allow you to increase the OAL of your rounds? Excuse my ignorance.

 

[etisll40]

I have the Wyatt's extended box on my BDL floorplate and I believe the OAL is 3.9", but I can check it if you want me too..

I am in the process of picking a different stock for my STW, possible going to a Mcmillan m40a something or like it, any suggestion would be helpful and will be selling my HS Precision Sendero style 2000 model which has the ADL-BDL conversion kit and Wyatt's extended box if you have any interest let me know. I am going to use the Badger DBM system as soon as I figure out if their's is the longest available. I have a Stiller Predator action which is a Remington 700 style custom action. My barrel is a Broughton # 5 sporter contour 26".

I am new here, have a Sako 995 with a 26"bbl that I bought when I lived in Colorado 9 years ago. Have only put 60 rounds through it - Winchester premium 160 gr failsafes. I am getting ready to start shooting it again and just put a Leupold VXIII 4.5x14 CDS on it. I will be handloading and would like to find some more of the same Win nickel plated brass, so if anyone has some, or even unfired factory Win Premium ammo I'd be interested. I could also use any suggestions anyone might have on loads. I have H1000, H4831sc, IMR7828, RL22, & RL25 on hand. I am a hunter so I was planning on trying 160 gr Accubonds and 160 gr TTSX first, also thinking about the new Barnes 168 gr LRX.

Any comments or suggestions would be welcomed.

Remington Brass

I am putting in the order at 5:00 pm EST tonight, but I will have 150 extra cases if someone else comes in late.

I found some plastic tupperware type boxes for .80 cents a piece for 100 lots, The 900 lot will probably go into a larger box unless cost prohibitive then I'll ship 9x100, but I expect to find a box at Big Lots or Walmart and will update everyone with totals by (pm) this weekend. I'm checking shipping cost tonight.

So, were off to the races and I'll have your totals this weekend.
