7mm STW who has load data

Broke down and bought a "Long" mag and need load data. RIfle in Question is a Sako 75 . Interested primarily in 140 and 160 grain loads. Thanks

Looks like Reloader 25 is the way to go with this caliber

I have two 7mmstw's and both shoot 140gr bullets most accurately with imr 7828.

IMR7828 have to look that one up also, seems like there are a number of good powders for this beast. They also appear to be underloaded by the Factories. Thanks SJ

RE: 7mm STW who has load data

i use hornady 162g btsp with 86 grains hodgdon870 powder. ballistic coefficient is approx.514. sighted in at 200yds i have 24"-30" drop at 500yds. Hogdon doesnt have 870 any more but if you look around you can find h872 that is very similar in all aspects
