Shot GB's over chronograph today, 500 fps. I was a little surprised.
Put some paint on yesterdays creation.
My 'little brother' popped off a few rounds.

I borrowed it from a guy that loads his own pistol ammo.
New ones I think are $85. ? Try to get together with some other shooters.
Maybe meet once a month at a safe place to shoot?
Once you have speed figuring distance would be easy.

Spudgunning is (almost) always better than doing drugs.

Don't do any thing crazy with those guns to screw up that trust.
All we have is our word.

Yes, but if he had a job, he could afford both :D

Pizlo Every thing in moderation. Don't go crazy over either one :wink:

George Carlin said "I never had a problem with drugs until I could afford all I wanted" He is in recovery now. You know,AA.

Is that a 1.5 inch QEV?

Very nice, at that velocity you have a muzzle energy of around 380 ft/lbs - much more than a '38 special revolver round and three times the energy of a typical 22LR rimfire round :)

I just bought this chrony new for less than 80 bucks, it's an affordable bit of kit and very useful for advanced spud development.
