It varies greatly. From a handgun, it can be as slow as 500 feet per second up to around 1500 feet per second, and actually, even higher up to 2000 fps for some of the high energy rounds like the .600 nitro. From a rifle, it can be as much as 4800 feet per second, but on average, it's probably in the 1500-2500 fps range.

Can you trace a bullet without a gun?
First, lets go over what happens when a bullet is fired from a firearm. 1) A cartridge (a bullet pressed into a metalic cartidge which contains smokeless gunpowder and a primer) is loaded into the firing chamber of the firearm. 2) When the trigger is pulled, a hammer hits a firing pin which impacts the primer on the cartridge. 3) The primer ignites the smokeless gunpowder in the cartridge which produces a high pressure explosion. 4) This explosion forces the bullet down the barrel of the firearm and toward the target. The barrel of most firearms contains groves which help stabilize the bullet in flight by imparting a spin. These groves leave marks on the bullet itself which can be compared with other bullets fired from the same firearm. In addition, the firing pin on the firearm leaves a "dimple" on the spent primer of the metallic cartridge. This can also be measured and compared to other cartridges from the same firearm.
