I always forget things and often have to chronograph everything about six times.  Looks like I have more chronographing ahead of myself.  By the way my chrono said 3035 for the 140 ELD-M in my 26 inch and I have it programed for 3025fps and verified at 800 and 1200 yards so close.- - - Updated - - -  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Ya it's junk. You should send it to me. :;:thumbsup</blockquote>
