Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Chrono, Yes or No

I view my chronograph almost as a novelty anymore. It gathers so much dust I ought to sell it. I don't skate on the ragged edge of performance anymore (ie: I'm happy with 1800fps cast bullet loads in my '06's for target shooting, and I load 40gr. 4895/165 bullet for hunting, when I actually hunt with an '06), and SD, ES, FPS, and erectile dysfunction don't concern me either. 90% of my shooting is at 100yards on paper, and truthfully about the only times I drag the chronograph out is when I think I might talk about a rifle/load where someone will be sure to ask what velocity that load is getting. A simple day at the range necessitates a trunk full of gadgetry as it is without having to throw a chrono, sky screens, and tripod in there too- it takes up as much space as a case of whiskey (which is a much better arbiter of velocity for internet velocity claims).
