I just got a 7x57 Shilen barrel installed on a 111 Long Range Hunter action and it looks like it will throw a 162 or 175 better than I thought. I am seeing some speeds in my reloading books and online resources for 175's around 2550 FPS and 162's around 2700.
My brother seems to think that I can get a 162 SST to around 2750 and probably even 2800 pretty safely in a modern action. The Nosler book shows their 160 pretty close to 2700 with the 22" barrel, but that is a pretty sizable amount higher than the Hornady manual for 162's. I am guessing the numbers might be for a modern action in the Nosler book and the old weaker Mauser action in the Hornady... but I am not sure.

Any real world numbers from a 24" barrel in a modern (not custom) action?
