-------
2762 fps ave (relatively mild for a 20" barrel)

Other observations: Accuracy was reasonably good at about 2MOA (1") at 50yards, much better than 62gr Remington Core Lokt Ultra Bonded, but not as good as 75gr Hornady 5.56mm TAP in this rifle. I also shot it into water at close range and it did not hold together as well as the 62gr Remington that was going probably 75fps faster. Bottom line is it's a relatively cheap ($9.90/20 rounds), reasonably accurate load that maintains decent, but not spectacular, bullet integrity.
