Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 7mm STW 168gr Berger VLD loads

I am gonna be starting load development soon with my 7mm STW with 168gr Berger VLDs for an upcoming Antelope hunt this fall.

I have the load data for this bullet sent to me from Berger, but I also wanted to see what other loads you guys have been using with this bullet.

If I can't get the Bergers to shoot I am going to try out the new Barnes LRX 168gr bullet.

RS Magnum 81 grains.

My gun did not like them. I ended up with 160gr Accubonds and H1000 @ 3300 fps IIRC. I got 1.5" groups at 500 yards with them. Going to play with seating depth and see if I can get better.

Haven't played with it a lot, but RL-19 is showing some real promise.
