[QUOTE="sitkastw, post: 2208549, member: 117348"] On a long range “hunting” forum I would have chosen any other round than the creedmoor to base my complaint on vs a magnum cartridge with higher velocity, heavier bullets, and better ballistics. (One must understand terminal ballistics but thats an entire other conversation) Yes there is the cost of recoil however with a proper brake that is almost eliminated. I have 3 stw’s I use for hunting. Not saying the creedmoor doesnt serve a purpose as I have one somewhere in the back of my safe that I used to target shoot during the craze. It is also sometimes hard to find info on the stw as others have stated, especially for new bullets and powder. The #1 reason I signed up for this site is based on the availability of information on the stw for long range “hunting” purposes. Almost everyone in a sporting goods store can tell you about a creedmoor with first hand experience however again those guys are hunting 95% under 400 yards and little to no experience successfully taking big game in the 700-1000 yrd range and beyond. Or I could have just said because this is a very good place to ask about such caliber as their is little information readily available in other places [/QUOTE]
