[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 583303, member: 28381"] Keep in mind this is only part of the equation. This "Chrono in a box" just keeps the electric eyes recording consistently. I still have a $100 chrono that I'm trying to get to perform like one costing much more. Like others have posted here, shoot your data. Record your data as accurately as possible and use a ballistics program to build your drop tables. This project started when I got a little bit sloppy (actually a lot sloppy) with not just my shooting but data management and then wound up with some really goofy numbers. I've been reading as much as possible here about this game and when it was time to make it work, my technique was lacking both skill and accuracy. The fortunate thing is that only some time and some ammo was all that was wasted. I've been able to shoot some shorter range with my .223 - from 100 to about 375 yards to not only shoot data but also practice how to apply that data to create a good drop table. I've shot data 3 times now in the past few weeks, starting from scratch each time and using the G7 calculator link above. When the new data and tables are compared to the previous I have been able to reproduce results and prove the previous shooting session. Now I just have to find a place to stretch out my 7mm to 700 - 1000. There are not too many places in my area where that is even possible. [/QUOTE]
