I don't have access to a crono so I am not sure how fast but the 30 inch barrel should be using all the powder. I just finished sight in at 60 yards with my new Nikon scope I really surprised my self as I bore sighted it the old fashioned way by looking down the inside of the barrel and my first shot was 2 inches left and dead on for elevation. I was able to hit a cantelope size rock with a 95gr VMax at 300yrds first shot after sight in. I really like the Nikons sight picture and side Knob focus.
