Forgot to mention--given the notorious barrel-burner nature of the STW I only shoot one charge group at a time spacing out the shots at at least 3 minutes--so it's going to take a while to find the best loads.

Yes, I thought about that, but I'm not confident enough of a good hit at 1,000+ yds (yet, anyways).Just stretch the range, it'll eventually turn into a 7-08!
I've already decided I'm going to order another barrel just like the one I purchased after I finish load development which I figure will use up most of the life of the barrel I have.
Really? Why is that?...never could get as good accuracy with fully formed brass as he did from his fireform shots.
