    can anyone help me I am considering rechambering a model 70XTR
    Winchester in 7mm magnum to a 7mm STW, and I am unsure of whether the twist on this barrel will stabalize the heavier (160-175gr) bullets?
    I have a friend that did this to a Remington 700 and cannot use anything heavier than 140gr bullets or they fly all over the place.

    The last one I rechambered was a model 70 winlite. Set the barrel
    back one turn and rechambered. It shot 140 and 160 equally well.
    I don't think he shot anything over 160 grains.

    What kind of barrel was slinging 150gr bullets? I have seen almost all 7mags shoot the 150 and even 160 very well. They weren't by chance,....handloads were they?

    Friend of mine has the STW and gets great results with 140-160gr. He loves it!!!

    A great rifle with a junk scope,....is junk.
