CHRONOGRAPH USE AND BASIC SAFETY

Look sir this is snipers hide... Reloading here starts at book Max
I thought for most they just read other people's post and say books are stupid at least that was what I was told when asking if anyone had a book that had certain load data my two books didn't because I wanted to buy a book that did.

59 African refugees allowed in U.S...wait...SOUTH African????RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Democrats are literally a hate group. The left works 24/7/365 to destroy America and despises white people. They have a racist self loathing that is basically a mental disorder. The idea of importing hard working, literate people who want to succeed is outrageous to a democrat.

No leftist on the planet wants anyone white to have a moments peace.

CHRONOGRAPH USE AND BASIC SAFETY

I am under the impression that owning a chronograph is presently a basic requirement for handloading, given how affordable and readily available they are.

Is this a misconception of mine?

Chronographs are great tools. If you needed to reach a certain velocity for some reason, or if you're wanting low spreads...the info is right there. Over the course of your life, you will save money with one because you aren't using up nearly as many components in your reloading journey.

I would put a chronograoh on the list of "must haves" these days. Even a super-basic ocular unit will only set you back $150.

It's Sniper's Hide... At least 25% of the dudes posting lightning fast velocities are full of shit too. 50% of the remaining don't know how to read pressure signs, and the other half doesn't care because velocity trumps accuracy in any forum argument.

CHRONOGRAPH USE AND BASIC SAFETY

Obviously the velocity data can be important to determining a safe load but it doesn't replace the usual signs of excessive pressure. It is not critical to developing a good load either but it does make it easier to predict which loads will like work better at longer ranges. A load that shoots small groups at shorter ranges with high SD/ES isn't likely to do well beyond 500-600yds. Similarly a good SD/ES doesn't necessarily mean that a load will group well at short distances. Ultimately the target is deciding factor.

Chronographs have been cheap for a long time but the issue was that were difficult to setup and use. With the advent of affordable radar units that only require a quick setup and can provide continuous data without interfering with shooting. Probably the best benefit is the demonstration of the issues with small sample sizes and how that type of data can lead to questionable conclusions.
