i do not believe there is a mil spec for xm855.......there maybe for m855..that is a mil designation.
the figure is probably dificult to understand. it is probably form a 20 rifle and taken at 78 feet......it maybe from a 16 carbine.....but i doubt it.
one source..not reliable lists 3100fps from a 20"...........quickload says you cannot get to 3100 at the muzzle, much less at 78 ft with out exceeding pressure limits.
my guess is around 3025 with the 78' being 2950 or so from a 20"
from a 16" it drops to 2900 at the muzzle and 2800 at 78 ft...
all guns will vary some...mill is chrome lined battle rifles...

(i guess well...midway is selling xm and list vel as 3020 at the muzzle...does not list bbl length..but its got to be 20")
