I do not know anything about the 7mmstw but I do have some sites I found load data for it. Sorry I could not help with your questions. Also you may want to post this in the T/C Rifle area. You may get a better response there.

A fella here in town has one in a Remington Sendero that he likes quite well. I've never shot it but wached him dump a coyote at about 400 yards with it leaving about a 5" hole in the dog. Supposedly it has more energy at 500 yards than a 06 has at 100. That was the sales pitch. Seems to me he gets around 5-7 loadings from the brass but I can ask for sure. I do know it whistles a 140g Ballistic tip out there pretty quick!

It created quite a buzz when introduced but for me, the little gain in velocity 100-300 ft/sec isn't worth the huge jump in powder used and recoil increase over the Rem or Wea. 7's plus it requires the looooong action.
