I am a fan of this now rare cartridge, but I want to ask about a couple of Shooting Times rounds based on it. Yes, I know it started with the 375 H&H. And Remington went from the 8mm to the 416 commercially. I'm talking about the Layne Simpson creations, necking the case down to 7mm (STW) and up to 35 (STA). According to the data I see, the 7mm STW stands in with the many high capacity rounds available and has some fans. Of course, others have gone to cases derived from the 404 Jeffery or designed from scratch. And some are faster. In 35 bore, I believe the 358 STA is the fastest, although there seems to be less activity, the famous Whelen notwithstanding. Sitting between 338 and 375, this bore size is neglected. Any thoughts or experience with these rounds?
