JG>I chronographed some ammo the other day with my Ruger M77/22 Magnum.
JG>Here are the instrumental velocities at 15 feet from the muzzle. Federal
JG>50 grain hollow point 1657 fps. Winchester 40 grain hollow point 1906

JG>point ranged from 1972 fps to 2148 fps-quite a spread and far below the

JG>and are very close to claimed velocity.
Excellent!  Thanks, I'm having a Remington 514 rechambered to fire 
.22mag.  24" bbl, single shot bolt action.  I should be able to collect a 
little better velocity from the CCi due to the longer barrel.  
Mostly I just want a .22mag rifle, I love that cartridge dearly and wish 
more firearms were chambered for it.  I'm still sorry I never got the 
Grendel P-30 when I had the chance.  30+1 rounds of .22mag would make for 
a formidable pistol, and I'm confidant I could make it reliable if it 
happened not to be so out of the factory.
