Good luck with your choice. </div></div>
Why is that? What problems did you have? Maybe the better question to ask is, what problems can I expect to have from my Shooting Chrony Beta Master? I do get errors more than I'd like, but to me, the damn thing seems so sensitive to muzzle blast. Once I get it set up in the right spot, seems to work great. But I guess I can't speak for accuracy, as I have no other chrony to compare to. </div></div>
If you ever use a higher grade chronograph you'll see a world of difference.
The two "Shooting Chrony's" of different models I had would NEVER read the same numbers even the same day, same temp, same load, same rifle / pistol. One day I remember having 45 acp rounds go from 750 to 900 fps. Same day, same loads on a friends chronograph, same range same conditions, the numbers were running within 25 fps ES on 20 rounds out of the same box of ammo from the same pistol. When you are working to get the numbers small, if the machine just puts out whatever numbers IT WANTS to, you're not going to get any where fast.
If you just want to see if the bullet is in fact crossing the sky screens, maybe you want to keep it. But my time and materials are valuable to me. I don't just pop caps to hear the noise. I'm always testing something. If not hardware or components, then myself. </div></div>
Thanks for the heads up....Wished I did a little more homework now, prior to my purchase.
