I was holding on the top of the paper just to get that group on the target......with no more vertical adjustment left in the scope. I didn't have a chronograph with me that day but I'm betting I was right about 2000fps with that load. My load for the Hornady 250 jacketed were doing 2450 to give you an idea for comparison. Interesting note is that you can get 2700 out of a 200 grain J bullet in the whelen, but the 250 holds velocity better and energy out to longer ranges
