About what I usually see too,but there are also some barrels that are faster and slower than others as well.The only way to tell is use a chronograph.I wouldn't load without one anymore.They are not that expensive and well worth it.Another thing you can do is play with different powders.Sometimes you can gain that extra velocity difference between a 22" and a 24" barrel by using a different powder on that shorter barrel.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............
