Default Chronoed velocity from factory ammo?

So I'm looking at different factory loads to shoot out of my 7mm mag. If they shoot well out of my A-Bolt, I'm looking at Federal Premium/Vital Shock 140gr. Nosler Partitions.
I think they would work VERY well on whitetail as well as all the hogs we have running around.
Federal's website shows a muzzle velocity of 3150fps. I know there are a lot of factors that contribute to what my rifle will get, but I was wondering if it would be fairly close to what's published.
My rifle is a Stainless Stalker, so I thought it's 26" barrel might even beat that # by a little bit.
Just wondering if anyone has actually chonoed their factory 7 mag loads to compair against listed velocities.

Thanks in advance
