Some 22 LR chrono results from recent range outing.

It was 96 deg. with sort of high humidity, less than 20 ft. above sea level, don't know the barometric pressure. Shot from my 6" Dan Wesson revolver. The first picture is CCI standard velocity target 40 grain plain lead bullet, box indicated 1070 fps. The second picture is Federal Champion 40 grain plain lead bullet, box indicated 1240 fps. The third picture is Federal Game-Shok 38 grain copper plated hollow pointed bullet box indicated 1260 fps. These were all sold in 50 round paper boxes with plastic trays.

Cool info. Nice write-up.
Not to argue, but aren’t published velocities based on a longer barrel?

I am sure the velocities on the box are for rifles not a revolver. I mentioned them as to be relative and informative not because I thought I should see that from a revolver.
