Best way to find out factory ammo velocities is to go to the respective websites. I know that Federal,Remington and Winchester all publish velocities on their websites. Try a search engine to find them. Usually they're taken from 24" barrels, so you may want to buy some and chronograph their loads through your own barrel to account for weapon to weapon differences. Use the results for the factory ammo as a benchmark and try to dulplicate their accuracy and velocity.
