Thanks Unclenick, I was referring to max velocity. My guess was around 4 ft. for a .30/06, so I was pretty close. Had just read an article about velocity from shotguns being fastest at 18" to 20", that would put my BT99 at a much slower rate than I had thought. Have never been able to get a good reading from a Chronograph, probably because of shot column, wad, gases, etc. Thanks for your answer.
