Load for 7MM STW
« on: July 09, 2009, 08:17:01 AM »
Does anyone have any loading data for a 7mm STW using Accutrate 8700 and 140 grain bullet?

Lyman 49th shows 82.5 gr min (45.4 Kpsi) and 91.5 gr max (63.2 Kpsi) for a 140gr Nosler SP at 3.585" OAL in Federal cases and using Federal 215 primers.  Two things to consider is that Accurate has discontinued 8700 and other load sources seem to indicate that 8700 is better suited for heavier bullets in the STW.

Yes, I understand Accurate discontinued 8700, but I still have 8lbs on hand and would like to shoot it up before I purchase more powder.  I have found several loads for 160+ grain bullets, but again I have several hundred 140 grain bullets on hand.

Regardless, THANKS for your help.  I now have a starting point.
