What velocities are you guys getting out of your 20-in barrels with factory 140's or heavier ?

Only factory ammo please no home brews... šŸ˜

thanks !

Granted it's with a 18" barrel bolt gun, but I'm getting ~2720 with 140 Berger factory ammo

LabRadar with a Bartlein barrel. This is a bolt gun by the way.
I was going to say whose barrel are you using in semi auto because that would be crushing it šŸ˜ . Thanks for the clarification.

What's your altitude?
 
Chronograph or dope?

I have a 18" PVA Rock Creek and my Magnetospeed V2 shows 2658fps with Berger 130gr Hybrid factory ammo; same barrel gets 2585fps from 140gr ELD-M factory ammo.

my 20ā€ PVA rock creek with sico omega was getting around 2600 FPS with factory ELD-M

Sorry for the confusion ā€“ only now realized I was chatting in a semi-auto forum. Altitude is right around 800ft
