It will fit nicely in a medium length action, for sure.
Just got done shooting my 25SS, it's in an XM.

I am pretty sure I'm running around 2725fps with the 180, 18" barrel, 7828ssc. I'm playing with the 300 Mega now so, it's been a while since I shot that 7ss

Two 7 sheman max's, both 20", both showed about the same max velocity. 175 eld-x maxed out at around 2900ish with N565, that killed brass in 2-3 fireings. Accuracy and useable load around 2800. Add about 75-100 fps for a 160 mono vs the 175 eld-x, so 2875-2900. Add 20-30 fps/inch. Take away some for the ss vs the max. I would say at least a 24" with the ss to get to 3000, if you want your brass to last more than 3 rounds. 26" would be a safer bet.
Amen Cody…. They can always be chopped down, but I never do.

Bought a 26" 7SS off the classifieds. And I will be using H4831SC for most of my loads at moderate speed. I'm not looking to hit the max and stay there. Lots of 162gr eldm as well
That's impressive! I built a 26 nosler that hovered around those speeds with 13gr more powder. Thanks for sharing!
I had a Titanium action for it previously, got obvious pressure at 150-175fps less speed.
My sons 6.5 SS is 2975-3000fps with the 156 EH, H1000. I shared your report with him. He's very impressed. We both shot deer this weekend with our Sherman wildcats!
I used the 300 Mega with the 208 LRHT. Don't say it; I'm testing this bullet to see how it's going to perform in various shot situations. 100 yards, 2600fps impact, 3000ft-lbs. I thought it might explode on impact like a standard hybrid, but this bullet is pointed and looks like it started to tumble. It dusted the ground about 25 yards behind the deer. I'll try to upload video.

The taxidermist has the only issue I see.
European mount LOL.
