I have not chrono'd .22 shorts. I have chrono'd 22SVLR from a snub nosed revolver.
The SV ammo that I used has a stated MV of 1080 fps with a 40 grain bullet. The MVs that I recorded averaged about 800 fps from a 1 7/8ths inch barrel. CCI SV .22 shorts have a stated velocity of 1080 fps using a 29 grain bullet. You can expect that the MV from a snubbie would be similar to the LR. Close anyway.
