[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 928244, member: 25383"] computer says differently that you guys. It says that the bullet is still accelerating after it leaves the barrel. Just as soon as it passes thru the muzzle you will see a jump in speed, and then a steady acceleration for a few feet afterwards. Where it peaks I can't say, but it appears to be about 15 feet and maybe even further. Remember the bullet passing thru the barrel has a compressive stress on it from the bore diameter, plus another stress from the twist in the rifling. Once it's free of these stresses, there is only the resistance of air pressure and gravity. From what I see the Magneto Speed reads a little past the muzzle; which of course is better. gary [/QUOTE]
