[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1140113, member: 48043"] I am VERY partial to either rl22 or rl25 with a 140 in a 7stw. My Pops was shooting 78.5 rl22 with a 140 sierra pro hunter in his ss dm bdl for many years and has recently switched to rl25 and 150's. I've used 82 rl25 lit with a 215 with a 140 nos ab at (3.650")on top for three barrels in a row now. It will vary a bit in speed but be terribly accurate in most barrels. I was only getting 3200 fps from it in my 24" bbl, but am currently getting 3320 fps from the load (27" bbl); my rem. sendero would run 3400 fps with that ammo. I've played with rl26 a bit and gotten stellar velocity (over 3450 fps safely) out of the 24" bbl. but I haven't worked it over yet with my new barrel. It should be able to crack 350 fps with ease... if the accuracy holds up I may go with rl26 after the three hundred 140ab/rl25 rounds I have loaded get shot up. [/QUOTE]
