Try using pweight instead of iweight and see what you get. Because v005 is a sampling weight, you should use pweight (which specifies it's a sampling weight).

It does not matter that you "extracted" the variables. This is a workaround to the maximum number of variables limitation of Stata IC. Before I learned this trick from an econometrician mentor, I used to do data management in SAS (pull all the variables I need and export to Stata), and using the "use - using" command produces identical results.
