Which is faster?

What are the 3 fastest production calibers?

Wehrmacht_45

For what kind of gun??

20 tactical, 17 REM, and 240 WBY Magnum,

EDIT:

The first two are misnomers. You're putting out a pellet, that in the wind, becomes useless after 150 yds. Perry shooter is right too. The 204 Ruger goes 4200 with a 32 gr. bullet, better than the 20 tactical. the 220 Swift is capable of 4300 fps with a 40 gr. bullet but they don't load them like that anymore. They were loaded hot, hot hot in the past though.

I agree with perry shooter on the 220 Swift and the 204 Ruger but I think the 22-250 with a 40 grain bullet at 4100 fps is faster than the 17 Remington.

"Current production" I would have to say the .204 Ruger, .22-250 Remington, and .240 Weatherby. The .220 Swift would easily be included in here, but I am not sure if it is produced anymore?

223WSSM, 17 Rem, and 204 Ruger. That 223 WSSM is a real hotrod with a 40 grain v-max or ballistic tip...around 4500 FPS

Yes, the 220 swift is still in production- altho factory loads are dialed down a bit. The Remington 30-06 Accelerator (tiny little bullet in a sabot) cranks about 4500 fps. Still being loaded- the .308 Accelerator at 4100 fps is not. The 30-30 Acclerator is also in production, but a bit slower.
