My old 700 Bld 280 Rem. clocks out a 3140 with the 140 gr Ballistic tip. That over both of my Chronographs. This is about 40 FPS more than I can get from my 7Mag winchester model 70. Both have 24 inch barrel. In my other 280 which is an NEF with a 26 inch barrel. I load the 120 grain Sierra pro-hunter. It loaded to only 2950 FPS because the 120 Pro-Hunter is a bit fragil. I sold my 7MM STW to my gunsmith. It was a great gun. I think very soon we will see a couple new powders that will load the 7 MM Ultra to well over the STW. I read an artical about them. Both the 300 and 7mm Ultras are handicapped right now for a lack of a slower powder.
