    One thing to consider is I have found Velocitor to not live up to what the box says by a large margin. I chronied it this weekend gone out of a 16" barrel and got most the same speed as regular old mini mags, as well as wild ES and SD.

    So far on larger animals, I have seen that the 40gr Power Point punches above it's weight.

    Muzzle velocity/energy is not as interesting as what the bullet retains downrange. Velocitors look good in this table based on manufacturers' published data. Comparing the first three in the line-up sells the virtues of heavier bullets.

    Accuracy of course is more important and of the supersonic .22LRs the Velocitor also goes trans/subsonic the furthest out.
