I put some rounds through the chrony today at the Whangarei DSA range.
Hornady 223 REM 55gr SP item #80255. My older boxes with "TRAINING" have the same item number, new box labels don't state training.
Ruger American All Weather SS 22" barrel 1:8 twist
3120
3114
3124
3119
3128
3144
3174
3175
3184
3181
3171
Avg: 3148.5

The final 3 rounds grouped like this at 100m

That's much better than I expected. A very usable velocity from factory ammo that clearly shoots well in your rifle. Good times :)

i looked on the hornady website the other day and read they test the velocity with a 24" barrel so perhaps that would be a little quicker retaining it a little longer.

First time shooting at a range today and am very happy with what i can do and knowing it's sighted in spot on is great.

So this is what strelok tells me is the go with the speed info
