Just worked up some loads for my new custom 7WSM, I'm using 67.0gr of Vit. n160 with a BR2 primer and a Berger 168gr vld bullet. I'm getting some average speeds of 3150 fps with an excellent 3 shot group (dime size group). Should I be able to expect anymore speed or just settle with what I got.
28" barrel with 1 in 9 twist.
Thanks, Redeyegun)

That is a good velocity for the 168s . If it is a good shooter and does not have signs of pressure
Be Happy.

With the 28" barrel you might be able to squeeze a little more velocity with slower powder
and/or a hotter primer.
