Hi guys, I'm looking for a few good loads for the 7mm STW. I prefer to use 140 gr. bullets. I just recently got this rifle and I have one decent load using 74.5 gr. of RL22 and although its a decent load I would like to find a better one. Hope you can help me. Gary

Got the Savage....
Sold the Savage.....
Wasn't pretty! Had in excess of 150 different load combinations and 750 projectiles sent downrange...results were, well.......crappy! Twist rate for the barrel was far too slow, and nothing would work. Thought the whole point of getting all that horsepower was to be able to send heavy projectiles at warp speeds to the attended target?
Everything I tried in the 139gr SST Hornady was outstanding. Had some issues with AMAX bullets....no joy!
