[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 524303, member: 20443"] I'm not sure it was the chrono. I was getting 3009 out of a 270 with 140 gr sst's in their superformace ammo, 2478 out of a 300 savage with 150 ballistic tips and 40.5 gr ogIMR 4895, 813 fps with my 45 acp, 950 fps out of my 10mm glock 29, 1109 with my .22 lr and 2354 fps in a 303 British with factory 180 gr bullets the box said it would get about 2400 fps. All the reading from the chrono seemed good. I'm pretty sure there is a reason why I'm not getting the velocity I should, and not a chrono problem, I'm thinking it has something to do with the bullet not bring seated deep enough but this is just my reasoning and I don't have much experience or knowledge to back this up. I'm hoping somebody with both will be able to shed some light on this. I though the chrono might be bad also , like maybe it means 3290 instead of 2290 but it chronoed the 270 at around 3000 fps just fine. I'm learning that the equipment when it is functioning reliably ( as it seemed to read everything else just fine) is not lying and if it's telling me something is not acting right there is a reason why and not that it is broke.
