[QUOTE="sleepyeddie, post: 625103, member: 11332"] I guess I might be the anal one here but everytime I go to the range for load development, sight in, trigger practice ect. I set up the chrono and record the information. I have several rifles that have over 300 rounds over the chrono which has allowed me to trend as little as a 10 degree ambient temp difference for loads used in long range shooting. ES and SD beg to be averaged over more than 3 or 5 rounds if you are actually going to use the information in your long range shooting. Statistically, the more information given to the input,the better the result. If you are trying to use ES and SD with 3 to 5 rounds to find a good load, IMO you are better off looking for accuracy nodes and not wasting your time with a chrono. If your intent is to gain information to use in the field to help with shot placement at long range then ES and SD information obtained at the range will only help. [/QUOTE]
