RE: 7 MM QUESTION
Go with the 7mm Rem Mag. You just don't need more for shots that will not exceed 300 yards and I think you'll find ammo more readily available for this cartridge than the STW or RUM. I've had five 7mm Rem Mags over the years and they've all served me well. My latest one is a Sako 75 and I couldn't be happier with it. This will probably be my last 7mm mag, but it will certainly not be my last Sako.

RE: 7 MM QUESTION
Handloader was good to point out how many factory STW ammos are currently available for comparison I looked in a couple catalogues I have and found a total of 51 factory offerings available for the 7mm Rem mag.
(Federal 16, Remington 10, Olin(winchester), PMC and Hornady offer 7 each, Norma and Speer Nitrex 2 each-grains 139-180.)

RE: 7 MM QUESTION
OK guys thanks for the help, I just bought the SAKO 75 7MM STW stainless hunter, after your posts and some phone calls to sport shops about the factory ammo for this rifle, there seems to be a good selection and I said to my self go for it.
THANKS AGAIN
THANKS AGAIN

RE: 7 MM QUESTION
I have two 7mmstw's and find it to be a great cartridge.The only problem is that the factories load them very mild.You really need to handload to see the full potential of this cartridge.
