7mm STW load for 160 accubonds.

Given the Nosler factory ammunition is so hard to obtain, has anyone found a close replication of that loading with the 160 Accubond? If so, please share.
 
With REM brass, I was getting over 3400 with a pile of 7828. With RL26, I quit when I hit 3350 with an accuracy load using Nosler brass. Nosler brass was over pressure with 2 less grains of 7828. Considering both powders are unobtainable, I'd look to H1000, RL25, Grand, Retumbo or the perhaps the VVpowders.
 
I've got 300 pcs of Nosler brass new in box. I have several powders. Never loaded for my current rifle since the Nosler Custom ammo was so good in this rifle. Basically looking to duplicate the factory Nosler 160AB cartridge. I was hoping someone had a recipe. Thanks.

I have a 7mm STW by robert gradous. I helped him build this rifle and i am a young hunter/shooter. I do know how to reload but i do not have a clue for what amount of powder or what is the best powder for my rifle. My rifle has a 28 inch Krieger barrel but i dont know the twist. I plan on using 160gr accubonds as they shoot best out of it, better than the 168gr bergers. It is flying about 3600fps and id like to stick around that number. What is the best powder to use for it? gun)

If possible talk to the person that owned or loaded for it before you.
If you can get that information post it up
 
You have to be extremely over pressure or your chronograph is way off if you're claiming 3600 fps. Best I get out of my STW 3180 with a very stiff load of N570. Granted you do have a 28" tube but it's pretty hard to believe a gain of over 400fps with and extra 2 inches. My custom 28 nosler with a bartlein finished @ 27" is only pushing these 3480. I guess anything's possible but I'd be checking them pressures out.

I can see it getting up to 3400ish but 3600 seems tough to believe
