How fast does a .22 long rifle bullet travel? |
How fast does a .22 long rifle bullet travel? That depends on the amount of powder used in the casing and the barrel of the gun firing the bullet. About 2400-2800 feet per second. The above answer is way off - definitely not .22LR velocities. A .22 LR Standard Velocity .40 grain bullet fired from a rifle barrel is in the neighborhood of 1000-1100fps. A High Velocity .22LR .40gr bullet fired from a rifle barrel is around 1200-1300fps. CCI Mini-Mags (for example) are 1235fps. Hyper-velocity rounds are around 1400-1600fps from a rifle, with a lighter bullet weight (32-36gr, sometimes 40). If you want to convert any FPS velocity into MPH, divide the FPS by 1.47 and that will give you the MPH. CCI (U.S.A.) Eley (U.K.) Federal (U.S.A.) Fiocchi (Italy) Lapua (Finland) PMC (U.S.A.)
