    The 7mm STW was developed by Layne Simpson, gun writer for the Shooting Times Westerner magazine. Based on the 8mm Remington magnum case necked down to 7mm, Simpson’s goal was to drive 160 grain bullets at over 3200fps. In 1997 the 7mm STW was picked up by Remington who presented the first model 700 7mm STW to Simpson along with the first box of factory ammunition.

    Following its introduction, the STW quickly gained popularity among hunters interested in open country hunting, mountain hunting and dedicated long range hunting enthusiasts. This success lasted for a few years but was interrupted after the release of the 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum in 2000. Before long the 7mm STW was abandoned as a factory chambering in favor of the hot new comer.

    Today the 7mm STW retains a small degree of popularity. The STW is a highly potent but sometimes misunderstood cartridge.
