Using a CZ 452 American Ruger Mark III

Brand Box Velocity Range for 5 shots

CCI MiniMag HP 1260 1241 - 1264 997 - 1050
CCI MiniMag RN 1235 1159 - 1200 950 - 978
CCI Velocitor 1450 1242 - 1308 845 - 1017
CCI Standard 1080 1018 - 1042 876 - 902
CCI Select 1200 1147 - 1184
RWS Rifle match NK 1020 - 1037
CCI "QUIET" 710 499 - 552
CCI Stinger 1600 1177 - 1199
Winchester Bulk NK 1020 - 1065

An interesting process. While the RWS was the most consistent, the results were not that good at 50 yards.
Some of the velocities were Not Known (NK).
The Velocitor and Stinger appear to need more barrel length to get the velocity.

I hit the range yesterday with the Chrony-Alpha.
I blasted through some .22lr to make sure all was working.

Ammunition:
Federal Champion 525rnds VALUE PACK - 36gr Copper HP's; box claims 1260fps at muzzle.

Barrel is a 12" McGowan; Chrony-Alpha was setup 10ft away:
1238
1193
1265
1271
1240
1284
1262
1212
1299
1250
1282
1217
1236
1231
1201

Good enough for me, I loaded up on this stuff.
I'm happy to see that I am getting the advertised FPS from the 12" barrel.
