To all the 7mm STW users out there.

[Pathfinder76]

Please sell me on this round. I'm interested in your pluses and minuses on the round as well as your overall thoughts.

Sorry as I am not a 7mm STW shooter but I would opt for the 28 nosler over the STW. its faster and non belted.

I don't want faster and I want a H&H based round.

As my memory fades it seems I recall reading a Layne Simpson article (apologies if I have this wrong) he had second thoughts on developing this round....

I used a 7 STW for years. It's a great cartridge for almost any hunting situation you might find. That said, it comes in to it's own at longer ranges with it's higher velocities, inherent accuracy, very flat trajectories and excellent bullet selection.

In the end, I found it to be unnecessary for my normal hunting ranges and bit overkill for many, depending on species. It is quite expensive to load for as well.
I can think of better ways to burn 70 -80 gr. of powder but there are few ways of improving on a 7 STW's overall performance. It will serve you well.
