I see guys fussing around with their fancy chrono's at the range. So much in fact it messes with their shooting. One newbie handloader (you see a lot of newbies getting this kind of schidt because they are led to believe they absolutely need one) came to me last year at my clubs range and asked why his groups looked like schidt when his SD's were single digits. First I said, well you have that damn thing hanging off of your barrel, second it's a Christensen Arms, plus you think you need fancy azzed dies. And "Oh, by the way why didn't you come to the "precision" rifle shoot that you asked for at the last meeting????"
Well I did fine for around 30 years without one but this year I got 2 350 Legends for southern Michigan hunting. When I started load testing the Lil'Gun data from Hodgdon seemed awful hot, even the starting load. It made me nervous enough to spend money I probably shouldn't have to make sure I wasn't getting into dangerous territory! Never had a problem with published data before and the same Hodgdon data for H110 was fine. Anyway, I felt I should have one to stay out of trouble now and get accurate fps readings for my ballistic solvers.
Some claim that the Magnetospeed does affect poi but not groups. who knows for sure but I'll definitely find out! Thanks for the reply especially since you seem upset by anything to do with chronographs (simply going by this post of yours) or fancy dies!
Have a great day!
