[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 2148353, member: 56094"] RWS factory ammo also seems to be somewhat slower than what is listed on the box. A couple of years ago I mounted a scope on a second hand Carl Gustaf 3000 rifle and sighted it in for my Cousin using his RWS 140 grain Double Core factory ammo. The box lists a velocity of 2855 fps but through the 24" barrel I only saw 2585 fps. However for the 4 shots I chronographed the ES was 3.37 fps with an SD of 1.82 fps. Even though it was slow it turned in a < 0.6" 5 shot group at 100 metres. [/QUOTE]
