That's awesome!!! You're getting more velocity with these compared to my 7 STW, but accuracy is the same. Your load is going to be absolutely devastating on anything you shoot with it.
 
Top was 3226 but I wanted to cycle the brass more than once😁
I hear ya on that one!!!! I'm a velocity whore, but have learned to dial it back a little now that components are so hard to get these days.

I never really pushed to see what top end was since it shot so well
Congrats, again. Look forward to a report come hunting season.
 
Try Hodgedon's data center, the STW is on it with H4350, one of the most stable powders for those of us who shoot in the heat. Look thru a couple guides, make sure the numbers are similar, then start where you think it is safe.
Being a tad way down south as a Az resident I can truly attest to the temp stability of h4350 vs RL26. It's money, solid, steady! I have a bunch of both RL 26 and h4350 but when it's warm 4350 is the go to. It may become the "go to" period in many of my cartridges. As I become older, and time becomes more precious, the ability to have consistency SOMEWHAT trumps speed for me. Now that being said, I like it fast, and there are many temp stable powders that can get me where I need to be.

I have a 28 Nosler and was going to try the 177 HH as well, that looks to be a dang good load, when I get mine in I plan to follow it with H1000. Very nice trigger control, awesome. What is the ES and SD on this load?
