Load for 7STW
What I am trying to figure out is a load for my 7mmSTW. Currently I am shooting 84.5 gr. of H1000 with the Combined technologies balistic silvertip. I hate this bullet. It is losing it's jacket when I shoot at 400 yards or so, it wont even go all the way through a gallon jug of water. The velocity is good though, I am getting 3395 out of it.
I would like to change to the Lazzeroni Lazzerhead bullet. It is a Barnes TSX in 120 gr and is coated. I know with the TSX you get less pressure and I am sure with the coating of it it is even less yet. What would be a good powder to run in this? Shoulder I use a faster powder to acheive more pressure like Reloader 22? Or stay with the H1000 or move to slower? I am thinking faster but you guys know your stuff and i would like to know your opinion on this.
I thought I should add, the gun is Sako TRGS 26" bbl.

TTT I fogot to say that the bullet i am currently shooting is a 140 GR. bullet so I will be moving from the 140 to a 120 Gr bullet. 0 -
Try some Retumbo. It is specifically made for large overbore cartridges. It should also give from 40-100 FPS more velocity.
