you only have so many shots with any load you work up if you want to keep this as a hunting rifle, that headpressure is a barrel killer after 400 rounds or so, even with the softer stainless barrel.
I’m thinking that I’m at around 100 shots through this rifle, maybe just a touch less.
I ran about 35 of the 140 gr Ballistic Tips through it
Maybe 25 of the 150 gr Accubonds
And 30 of the the 150 gr Accubond LRs
My Dad has a 7mm STW exactly like mine, his is the reason for me getting this one, his is beyond the 1200 rd mark for sure by now. He’s had it since 1996 or so and he shoots probably at least 50 rounds through it a year. It’s one of his favorites to break skeet with out to 500 yards. So I’m hoping mine lasts as well as his has! I’m keeping my fingers crossed anyway!
