That is great fps for a little 6" tube.............
In my 22 rifle I get:

cci 0038 29gr Long........... 650 fps
cci 0056 40 HP subsonic ... 1042 fps
Fed Am Eagle 38 chp ........ 1260 fps.

As a kid, I had a single six Ruger 22/22 mag ...........but it was
not that accurate for me, even with its 6" barrel and clunky sights......... however the price of ammo was sweet.

Thanks for posting this. I have been wondering what CCI standard was running out of my wife's Browning Challenger 6.5 inch. I stopped using Mini-Mags to keep from battering the buffer and spring. It's almost impossible to find parts for the Belgium made guns these days.

One of the ONLY calibers I've never tested through a Chronograph are .22 Rimfires. Maybe I will now.
