[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 1871199, member: 28741"] Don't forget the FCC requirement! Okay, so 200MW got him to 4K. In that case 25MW would probably get past 500. What I have done though is set up a cel phone hidden near the target positioned to look at the target, make a Facebook call to it with another phone, and then drive back to my shooting position. Of course it only works if there's decent cel reception and you'd want to have unlimited data plan. Another fun thing to do is to take 2 readings of velocity, one at 20' and one out near a target X yards away. You can do it with a Magnetospeed on the barrel and a standard Chrony at the target. Or if you don't have a MS , just take samples up close and then move the Chrony downrange. My experience is that the expected velocity drop is very close to what is predicted (even just using the Nikon Spot On app). I've only done that out to 300 yards because obviously an off shot destroy the chrony if hit but it's a fun experiment. [/QUOTE]
