Has anyone chronographed this?

I picked some up the other day.

95 grain remington goes about 870 fps in my 2.75 inch barrel Mustang.

90 gr Gold Dot about 925 fps.

95 gr PDX-1 about 905 fps with more spread than gold dot.

95 gr Blazer gold about 840 fps

Fairly cool 45 degree day. ammo and gun cold.

I shot 50 rounds today with my Colt. Excellent accuracy (for me). Three 6 shot groups at 25 yards. Long shot normally, but nice composite goup of 4 x 6 inches. Individual groups 2 x 4, 4 x 4 and 4 x 5 inches. I normally do about 6 x 9 at 15 yds with three magazines.

I have not chronographed yet. But it shot low and right from my other ammo which includes god dot, and Winchester DPX-1, blazer and remington FMJRN.

One failure to feed from first round in magazine, which is not uncommon once the pistol is dirty. I had previously shot three mags of FMJRN.

Let me know what your experience has been with the winchester FN.

I chronographed 4 rounds from 2 3/4 inch barrel Colt, 823-830 fps. No wonder they are so accurate. About 40 fps slower than Remington FMJ RN.
