Since I have't bought a Chronograhp yet, I don't know how fast my handloads are flying out of my .223. I have noticed that a particular handload groups 2 inches high of the bulleyes eye, the same as remington factory ammo I have shot. Both bullets handload and factory are 55gr. Can I conclude that the velocities must be very similar? Or am I drawing the wrong conclusion?
