    Can anybody confirm velocities from a REM LTR??

    Re: Can anybody confirm velocities from a REM LTR?? Thanks guys. I know I bought a cheap chronograph, but I took a chance and it seems alright. Its less nerve racking when shooting my .50 ae through a cheap chrono, though. Damn is it fun to shoot especially at fruit or gallon milk jugs. lol
