I am new to reloading and long range shooting. I have a 308 with a 24" Rock Creek barrel. I have been doing some load work and shooting all loads over my chrony F 1. I have made loads from 44, 44.2, 44.4, 44.6 with reloader 15 and they all are coming in around 2720. Their isn't really any difference in speed at all between any of the loads Is this normal? The chrony is new and so am I do you think I am doing some thing wrong? Thanks for any help.

+1 you need to be at least 10 feet away with a conventional chronograph.

15' is the standard I believe.

When I used a chrono in the past, I always put one around 10 yards away...just adjusted for trajectory. I don't chrono anymore, just pressure and accuracy test.
.2grn at a time? have you found the node for your gun?

Re: What's wrong?
I have the f1 w/ remote LCD read out, there's not enough cable to get much more than 10 ft. Guess you could make your own longer if you wanted but I've never had any trouble @ 10 ft. I have found that I rarely have any mis read when the bullet crosses closer to the unit and not high in the screens, just don't get too close.
Okie
