RE: wildcats?
Although I have never owned a 7STW, the ones I have been around are very sensitive to differant loads and barrel lengths. I wanted one but have since changed my mind. I had a 25-06 Imp. and it was real picky on what loads it liked and at what temperatures. I decided after 18 months I wasn't having fun any more and moved on.

Aunsaber-As the owner of two 7mmstw's and former owner of a third I have not found them to be all that load sensitive.All have 26" barrels and all three do have favorite loads but shoot well with several powders and bullets.They do not appear any more tempermental than most of the other cartridges I have loaded for.

RE: wildcats?
Stubblejumper; I am glad that you like yours.
In your loading have you found your cartridges to be temperature sensitive. In Kansas, temps. vary from +110 to way below zero. Having never been to Alberta, do you have these extremes? If you don't mind could you tell me what powders work best for you so I can keep it for future referance and pass it along to the people I know that do have the 7mmSTW's? Thanks
