To get FPS from MPH, multiply by 1.47. It isn’t as exact as we engineers can bore people with, given a minute and a calculator, but it gets you pretty darn close.
And the result: 3000 fps is 2040.8 MPH.

To convert to MPH, you buy a hewlet packard hp50g calculator and enter the number then go to the velocity menue and find the appropriate units.
aint that how in-gan-ears do it?

2045.45. ;-) Which is not 2554 like Mr. Expert said.
Also,
That and I've never seen a "round nose" .223 round. Spire, hollow, fmj, vldc, moly-coated... Round nose is a new one.
