In my 224 Valkyrie, I can get 3400FPS with 25grs of Re#15 behind a 60gr bullet 2890 pushing a 75gr ELD with Re#15.5 and with 28grs of Alliant Power Pro 2000MR pushing a Berger 80.5 Full bore at 2950. All of these group 3/4-1.0MOA out of a W.O.P 23" Krieger bbl. Will this 22 ARC outperform this?
 
Is speed the only performance factor? I know there are several rifles I have that could "outperform" if I stuck a lighter bullet in them.

Per the factory ammo specs,

3300 with a 62gr
3075 with a 75gr
2850 with the 88gr

Probably with equal bullet weights.
My 6.5 Grendel AR with a 20" barrel shooting 99 grain hammer hunter bullets runs 2844 and with a 97 grain Absolute Hammer I have run it at 2970.
