Among standard rifle cartridges the Winchester .220 Swift is the velocity standard bearer. It clocks in at 4,000 ft/s (1,200 m/s). Rifles chambered in the caliber tend to have shorter-than-usual barrel lives.
Among standard pistol cartridges the Smith and Wesson .460 is the current record holder at 2330 ft/s.
