[madppcs]

Ok, whats the difference? I have a 7mag, but found some ammo that is 7mm STW. WHats the diff between the 2? And can I shoot the STW out of a 7mag?

The specs for the 2 are.
7mm STW 168grn (Don't know the BC)
•Muzzle Velocity: 3205mv-fps
•Muzzle Energy: 3833me

7mmMag 168grn (Don't know the BC)
•Muzzle Velocity: 3076mv-fps
•Muzzle Energy: 3531me

NO shooting the 7stw in the 7mag. You can have a 7mag re-chambered to a 7STW. The 7STW is based off the Remington 8mm case necked down to 7mm. If you need some 7mag ammo send me a PM. Anthony

The first picture will show you. The STW is about half an inch longer. I like mine with one exception. My throat is long and the mag is short. I have to jump mag ammo a long way. It shoots well enough for a 500 or 600 yd shot. If I single load it the accuracy is much better but I use it as a hunting rifle.
