    chronograph help

    Is there a simple way to take the velocity readings you get and determine the muzzle velocity?

    Not sure but I think a lot of the sky screen models do convert it to muzzle velocity, The magneto speed should be muzzle velocity straight up due to where it reads at and the lab radar can be set for up to 5 distances.

    There are plenty of ballistics programs out there that will do that for you.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. -- Author Unknown"
