Lapua Factory Ammo Velocity
In another post NFMike stated he got 2200 FPS with factory 285 Mega Lapua ammo. I don't have a chronograph but my gun loves that ammo. Has anyone else checked it for velocity? I'm sure hoping it is a little faster than that. It would not surprise me if the 270 grain Naturlis(SP?) is slower since the recoil is significantly less. More so than a 15 grain reduction in bullet weight would indicate.

My post pertains to 9.3x62 ammo. Sorry about that!
