Guess my velocity?

Chrono apparently died >:( Anyhow heres the setup:

.223
1:12 twist 24" w/brake
55gr Nosler BTip
Lapua brass .003 Tension
.020 jump
rem 7.5 primer
25.0 gr AA2230

Im thinking 3300-3350 maybe? This load shot unreal. 1 ragged hole. 23.2 did the same too.
 
I'd use the 23.2 load. All barrels are different, so I would not venture a guess. But If I got the same result with less powder.
 
shooting 25 grains of ramshot TAC out of a 24" barrel with brake i get 3250
TAC is quite a bit slower than aa2230 and with the 12 twist what you are getting is probably as fast or faster than you are guessing ..... yeah fairly hot...............
 
In Savage bolt with 22" barrel 1x9 twist, I get 3150 fps from 25g of A2230 using LC 09 brass, Rem 7.5 br primers with 55 v-max. Don't know if that will help you, but it sounds like you are in the ballpark even given the variances from rifle to rifle. That load shoots very consistently tight groups also in my rifle.
