So far, buying new guns has used up my chronograph budget. As you said, one can get by very well without one, especially when they stay solidly in the low and middle range of the load tables as I usually do. Not much need for eye-bleeding velocity around here, and barrel life of well-liked and dependable rifles is more important than a little more speed. When I eventually make the jump, it will probably be for a Labradar, having suffered through the gyrations of others setting up their screens on ranges I was using. Charlie Petty seems to like his pretty well, based on articles I've seen, and now you've confirmed his opinion for me.
