What I cannot understand about this thread is the love for the STW over the RUM.
Sure, I love my STW, but I don't see any reason to disrespect the RUM.
Same here.
I actually still kick myself to this day for letting a 700 s/s 7-RUM slip through my fingers for pennies on the dollar. That was AFTER I had already bought and fell in love with my STW.
Question for those who have loaded for both:
I realize that what the STW will do in real life (if Layne Simpson's data is real life) as opposed to what the IMR and Alliant manuals say it will are two vastly different things........for whatever reason. Along the same lines, the manuals show basically ZERO significant differences between what can be wrung from an STW and a RUM. Nearly identical twins. Doesn't seem right to me. How much real world difference is there between the two.......apples to apples......both with 26" tubes and, let's say, a 140 gr. bullet ???
