chronograph

After researching and debating for several months I recently took the plunge and purchased a new Labradar chronograph. I had read several mixed reviews and this was my experience during my first outing. Prior to heading to the range I powdered up my unit at home and pre-set my units for...

Hey SH! Wow, this one was a lot of work but it's finally here! If you've ever wondered how these chronographs stack up to one another, or want to drown yourself in data this weekend, then I've got an article for you. https://blog.ammolytics.com/2019-09-06/chrono-comparison.html For this test...

I am using H4350 powder to load 140 GR Hornady BTHP Match bullets for a 26" heavy barrel in 260 Rem, and some recent results have me stumped. Here are the details: Over a year ago I purchased an 8 LB keg of Hodgdon H4350, which has been opened six times to pour and return powder. The powder...

Anyone aware of a chronograph that interfaces with a laptop/netbook via USB. What I mean is one that consists of a chrono "head" unit that interfaces directly with the computer running the chrono software vs simply being able to download the data to a computer. With inexpensive netbooks...

My 9mm suppressor is sounding a bit loud. I'd like to check that my 147gr ammo and 158gr ammo is truley subsonic. So, I am looking for someone near Kansas City that will let me fire 10 rounds through their chronograph.

OK, so I got my new Shooting Chrony F1 and out to the range I went with some loads. The GOAL is to workup a load with the same trajectory as the 168gr FGMM. 400' elevation, 79.9*F, 29.92"Hg, and lightly raining. First up I ran 5 rounds of 168gr Federal Gold Metal Match. 2721 fps 2702 fps 2711...

Looking for some advice… I went out early this morning to zero my rifle w/ some new handloads. * Conditions first thing this AM were: 81F, 47% humidity, Density alt 7255, barometer 25.33. * My first string of velocities were: 2961, 2972, 2964, 2966, 2969 (with avg velocity of 2966 & std of...

IF any one has used this chrony i have a question: if you have used any battery besides an alkaline, how did the chrony act with the non-aklaline or battery not marked alkaline. Thanks

I'm thinking either the Shooting Chrony F1 or maybe a CED M2. $200 is my limit so the M2 is right there at the limit. Anybody have a link to the place with the best price on one of the M2's by any chance? Any other recommendations? Gotta get this puppy ordered up this week. Thanks! -X

I am looking to purchase a chronograph to enhance my reloading. Any good experiences and or recommendations? Is it really worth it to get all of the "extras" or will a basic unit suffice? Thanks again...

My wife bought me for my birthday a Pact XP chrono. I set it up and even read the entire direction packet. I've been in the back yard the last hour or so shooting a pellet rifle through and I can't get it to give a reading. Of course I call Pact and they are closed at 1230 on fridays, so I...

Does anyone else have trouble when trying to chrono coated bullets? It seems like the chrono doesn't like to read the coated bullets (BN), but never misses a lick with uncoated. I might get 1 out of a 5 shot string that will read...

I'm looking for a easy to use chronograph for under $100. Any recommendation would be nice. Thanks

Well I hope I have good luck with it. Not only does it measure velocity but it also had a bullet library built into it with b.c. of several manufactures of bullets. Then it also has a corrected B.C. built into it were it also takes in humidity, altitude then gives you a corrected B.C. of that...

Obviously, if Oehler's were available new, I would have that at the top of the list. Being that they don't manufacture them anymore, is the CED M2 Chronograph the best of what's currently being made? I'm not interested in getting raped for $600 or whatever they are currently going for used on...
