Frequently Asked Questions
Buy 7mm STW Ammo for Sale
Is 7mm STW the same as 7mm Rem Mag?
No, they're different cartridges. Both share the same body diameter and fit the same magazines, but the 7mm STW is longer, holds more powder, and pushes bullets roughly 100 fps faster than the 7mm Rem Mag. It also generates more recoil. Factory ammo availability strongly favors the Rem Mag.
Is the 7mm STW still available?
Yes, 7mm STW ammunition remains available. Current tracking shows 8 variants across 17 retailers, with 4 in stock and pricing ranging from $42 to $128 per box, averaging around $65. Rifles chambered in this caliber are available from Remington, Ruger, Winchester, and Sako.
How much recoil does a 7mm STW have?
7mm STW generates roughly 25-28 foot-pounds of recoil depending on load and rifle weight. It kicks noticeably harder than standard 7mm Rem Mag but slightly less than a 300 WSM. Heavier rifles like the Sendero make it more manageable.
What does 7mm STW mean?
7mm STW stands for 7mm Shooting Times Westerner. It is a magnum rifle cartridge built on a lengthened H&H case, giving it more powder capacity than the 7mm Rem Mag. This produces roughly 100 fps additional velocity with comparable bullets, making it effective on elk and other large game at long range.
What is the difference between 270 and 7mm STW?
.270 and 7mm STW differ in bullet diameter (.277 vs .284 inches) and performance. The 7mm STW drives heavier bullets at higher velocities, making it superior beyond 400 yards on elk-sized game. The .270 is effective to 300 yards with lighter bullets. The 7mm STW has a clear long-range advantage.
Is 7mm STW ammo expensive?
7mm STW runs moderately expensive compared to common rifle rounds. Marketplace data shows median pricing around $65 per box, with most listings between $42–$128. Limited production and specialty magnum components keep costs elevated. Handloading your own ammunition is the most practical way to reduce expenses.
What is the barrel life of a 7mm STW?
Barrel life on a 7mm STW ranges from around 600 to 1,200+ rounds depending on shooting habits, bullet weight, and heat management. This overbore cartridge burns barrels faster than moderate rounds. Aggressive shooters may see wear by 600-900 rounds, while careful shooters who let barrels cool can exceed that.
Is 7mm STW good for elk hunting?
Yes, the 7mm STW is excellent for elk. Use 160–180 grain bullets for reliable performance at extended ranges. Heavier 175–180 grain options are preferred for elk-dedicated rifles. Choose well-constructed bullets such as Nosler Partitions or Swift A-Frames for adequate penetration on large bulls.
