4655 fps...............
Years ago I bought a pile of this German 7.62mm plastic training ammo and had enjoyed plinking with it down at the pond but never really looked into its performance.
Fired over the chrono at 15 feet showed velocity between 4598 to 4655 fps! I believe the bullet weighs around 10ish grains.

Fired from PTR91 fitted with a micro reddot sight at 50 yards gave this nice tight cluster.

Very cool stuff, bought for around 7 cents a round when the Germans surplused it out.

Absolutely no recoil but surprisingly loud.
The Hun know how to do it right!
