[QUOTE="dirtytough, post: 1651958, member: 6597"] Not sure off the top of my head. I would assume it will speed up some after some more shooting. Probably be in the low 2900 range. Just to clarify that’s not the factory load correct? I checked the velocity on mine when I only had 12 shots on it. I expect it will speed up a little more after getting more shots down the barrel. Probably put it in the low 2900 fps range. If your barrel was 26” it would be closer to 3000 FPS with the improved version. If that’s the case it seems like the factory loads are close to max velocity. A guy might get a little more out of it but maybe not much by reloading. I bought one box of factory originally and it shot ok. After doing PR’s suggested break in, getting a zero, and velocity, I backed up to 852 yards and shot a 6” group. It shot decent enough I grabbed 9 more boxes. I’ll probably end up loading for it. But for now I’ll just shoot factory until I have 100-200 brass. If it keeps shooting factory ammo decent I might not load for it. We will see. [/QUOTE]
