I have not shot it yet i will be picking it up this week when it arrives at my gun shop, and i got the composite stalker, it cost almost 300 dollars less than the stainless stalker, first i am planning on trying factory loads, the 2 you said are on a short list along with federal 160 grain trophy bonded tip and winchester 160 grain xp3, i am going to get my dad to reload some 154 grain interbond so i can see how that shoots since hornady does not make factory loads for the 7mm WSM
