Velocity of .50 BMG (Browining Machine Gun, 660 gr to 720 gr bullet weights ) projectile within 20 feet of the muzzle will between 2750 and 2850 feet per second, depending upon the cartride.
It depends on the weight and shape of the bullet, as well as the amount of powder used, but a good average would be from 2800 feet per second to a little over 3000 feet per second when shot from a rifle. There have been reports of greater speeds (in the 4000 to 5000 fps range) perhaps with sabot rounds.
