The next calm day I get I’m sending some nosler factory ammo down range through this rifle, it has a 1/10 twist rate so we’re shooting 140 grain bullets.
What are other good factory rounds for this rifle (that can be found) other than Nosler? I would like to send minimum 160’s down range but with the twist rate I’m afraid 150’s will be maximum bullet grain if it will group them.

Also who has a good hunting load recipe for this round?? I’ll be using Nosler brass, I’m looking for most accurate recipe , not the fastest…..

Try to get some 7828 powder.

While I haven't loaded the 7 STW, I have with the 7 RUM, and the components I'd be trying would be similar. Availability is an issue, but US 869 or Retumbo powders worked best for me in the RUM with 160's. I used Fed 215 GMM primers, never did try CCI 250. With the lighter bullets I did find a good load with H1000 as well. If you want the 160's, I'd at least try them before dismissing them without a trial. 1:10 may be enough to keep them straight. Use the shortest 160 you have.
