Both would be very mild 7mmstw loads. Using my normal velocity 7mmstw loads, I had to go with a zero of around 150 yards, which made the point of impact low at 300 to 500 yards, and it was still high from 600 to 800 yards. I went with a Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 myself, as the BRH hashmarks worked out better with my loads.

I had 140 grain Accubonds working well at 3400 fps. Run the numbers again...you'll see what I mean....by changing the zero that is. The key with a few of the really hot loads is to play with your zero. Try around 175 yards if I remember correctly. My 7STW now has a new home so I don't have the info any more.
