-newey- and -nwest- are both used to estimate Newey-West standard errors in the stata.
Why the results of them are different? 
And the results for -nwest- is different each time I run.

The results are as follows,

. nwest reg y x, lag(1) force

Regression with Newey-West standard errors          Number of obs  =      5000
maximum lag : 1                                     F(  1,  4998)  =   1320.16
                                                    Prob > F       =    0.0000
