So this is what strelok tells me three markers should be for my Hornady training based on a guess of 2700GPS rather than the 3250 or what ever the box says.
I get to actually test the ammo on...

Thanks very much, I'll do that. I've found that Hornady training works well in my 223 and I'm using the strelok app for my vortex scope so if I know what the speed actually is it should make it more...

I will only be using this...

new? off a website?

i could only find them near double what i want to spend, am i missing a cheaper option to buy?

i've got weaver mounts. Which one do you think will be best glass?
