I have a new Sig MCX AR in 300 BO. The rifle has a 16.5", 1:6 twist barrel and will be shot unsuppressed.
I was given a load to try, but w/o a chronograph, I'm not sure what ball park velocity I should be close to?

110 grain Barnes TAC-TX
Win Small Rifle primer
19 grains H110 powder.

I was told this was a very reliable round but was unsure what to expect for a velocity. Thanks!
 
Using 110 Vmax and 20 grains with a 1 in 12 16" I get 2380 give or take -chrony f1-. You probably will get very similar, probably 50-100FPS less.
 
If you're looking for ballpark take a look at the data on the Hodgdon site. They list a 110gr Hornady Vmav bullet with a max charge of H110 @2286 fps from a 16" barrel. Of course we rarely achieve the velocity in the data but it's a place to look.
