I'm waiting on Easter dinner to be ready so I can strap on the feed bag and was thinking. I don't shoot over 400 yards EVER.... even my spots for ground squirrels I only shoot max 300 or so do to terrain.... I have an 8" gong at 400yds at the range I can shoot when I feel like it but I just don't shoot "long" range.
I have a pro chrony and a magneto speed that I goof around with when working up new loads but do I really "need" them.... I still go by what the brass tells me.... I don't need to figure drops or twist turrets so does it even matter? I can't think of a situation where I had some crazy high chronograph speed but my brass was ok or I didn't have any other tell tale signs of over pressure telling me to back off.....so other than being able to "quote" your speed at the coffee shop is it really needed? My grandfather loaded for over 60 years and never used one?

Just shootin the chit on a Sunday afternoon 🤘🏻
