BRAND Feet per Sec. Ft. Lbs.
Remington 950 220
S&B LRN 997 349
S&B FMJ 889 278
CCI Blazers LRN 755 200
CCI Blazers +P JHP 940 245
Federal Premium 1000 245
Fed Hydro-Shok 950 255
Winchester USA 845 238
CorBon +P 1250 382

There is a smattering of some basic rounds, most are pretty decent.
When looking them up, it seemed that mostly wadcutters and cowboy rounds were in the slower 750-800 fps range. Anyway, gives ammo manufacturers the opportunity to sell you a +P round at an additional expense.
