First let me qualify my uncertainty, by declaring that I am a beginner to technical long range shooting, although I am some weeks into studying, book rather than practical application.
On to it... Regarding ballistic software; Do you feel that a cronograph is necessary for entering your muzzle velocity into ballistic software? Or for a starting point could one simply use the mv per the spec of the ammo?
Considering that a crono may have a margin of error, compounded by (generally?) having to tweak the mv in the software anyway to fine tune it? Would a crono just be an unnecessary added expense?
Lastly, other than using a crono for that purpose, is it a tool that I should have available irrespective of the above purpose?
Thanks, and I hope that's not a bone question.
