In the Barnes #2 Reloading Manual from 1997 the top velocity for their 195 gr Original bullet is 2710 fps in the 7mm Rem Mag with a 24" barrel using AA8700 powder ...
the Barnes Original bullet was a cup and core bullet with a very long bearing surface , the new Berger 195 gr Elite has a much shorter bearing surface at .665" in length , that should help get the speed up a bit before pressuring out and with the powders we have now you can get better velocity but may still need an 8 twist barrel
