[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1018030, member: 48043"] I for one would like to see chrono #'s and pressure traces for some of these "fish" tales... I'd bet the wheat would separate from the chaff a bit better then... At least no one is calling them "hot Tamales"... Guys, in a 26" bbl you can get about 3600 fps from a 120, 3400-3450 fps from a 140, 3300-3350 fps from a 150, 3200-3250 fps from a 160, 3150-3200 fps from a 168, and 3100 fps from a 175... anything more and you are over pressure. Those #'s are even optimistic in many barrels. The 7stw will not show over pressure signs until you get to a bit over 75 kpsi so you can easily run a bit high pressure wise and you will simply beat up your brass and action more. [/QUOTE]
