Let the games begin ,great setup .
162 grain ELD-X over 75.6 grains of H1000. Actually a mild load for the 7mm STW at 3050 FPS but it's got more than enough energy for whitetail well beyond the 1000 yard mark which I would never shoot that far. 7mm STW brass is hard to come by so I keep my loads conservative to extend brass life.

I'm guessing you don't have to worry about scent control haha
That's awesome man !
I had one of those and "something" was wrong with it from the factory.
Bolt wouldn't close unless you REALLY pushed down hard.
Carried it to a Remington certified gunsmith and he said the firing pin was too long ????
It did work "better" after that but I was never satisfied with it.
Sold it after a few hunts.
I loved that caliber !

Yeah if I start to load hotter loads the bolt opens but won't pull back. Primary extraction issue. There are some shoddy QC guns from Remington floating around.
You can always send it to Long Rifles and have them time it. Chad does a great job with that.
personally i really love the 162 amax on game
that is the same speed i am pushing it in my 7 saum
good luck

I guess UTGrad traded in that 30-30. Your gonna love the STW. I loaded 80.5 gr H1000 with 160's for 3180 fps, but my favorite long range load 81.5 IMR7828 under 140 Accubond running 3400 fps.
I bought Rugers Sendero STW, and he forgot to mention the bolt issue...lol

I never knew there was anything wrong, so it could not have been much to it.
tim it was probably operator error @RUGER
I would have lost that bet because I swear I thought I went into a full description of everything about it.
Took it to Paducah Shooters and they "fixed" it before I sold it but I just never liked it after that.
Glad it never gave you any trouble.

Well there's your answer. It was "fixed" nothing to mention.
