7mm STW

[AHorn]

I’m sure it has been covered sometime here but...

Does anyone have any load data for 140vld hunting in the ole STW?

Thanks

 

[AHorn]

Anybody?

What powder you lookin to use?

 

[AHorn]

Whatever I need.

If you're going old skool, try IMR 7828

I’m open to any powder needed, just wondering if anybody had any experience with the 140 vld’s

In 1996 or 97 my load was 81 gr of H1000 with a nosler 140gr ballistic silver tip, accuracy was .6 MOA and average speed was exactly 3600 FPS, barrel lasted less than 800 rds.
Enjoy, this is a laser

I have a bunch of h1000 if that will work with the vld’s.

Forgot to mention that the barrel was 27 inches long
