Hello, I just purchased a weatherby mark v accumark chambered in 7mm stw and was wondering if anyone had any input for both factory and handloads they liked. I would also love to hear any performance stories both on game and targets. this is the first time I have owned this calebar and would appreciate any info.

    i have a trade offer fpr my 257 weatherby mag in MK V ultra lightweight. the gun is a 7mm stw winchester model 70 custom sporting sharpshooter. both guns look to be in 98%+ condition. both calibers are not the best suited for hunting in the laurel and brush, but i have never owned the STW and would like to shoot it if nothing else. i know what STW stand for, but id like to hear some more about the gun and cartridge before i go ahead and trade it. thanks

    When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

    can anyone help me I am considering rechambering a model 70XTR
    Winchester in 7mm magnum to a 7mm STW, and I am unsure of whether the twist on this barrel will stabalize the heavier (160-175gr) bullets?
    I have a friend that did this to a Remington 700 and cannot use anything heavier than 140gr bullets or they fly all over the place.
