[QUOTE="ChrisInKY, post: 1341556, member: 94377"] Scott, First: You have to load properly to get your ES very small. Inconsistent and/or bad practices are your worst enemies when it come to ES. Second: The are countless ways to affect your ES once you're out on the range. You have to master all the tricks of minimizing ES (i.e. you're not going to consider your cold bore velocity from a fouling shot as part of your ladder, are you?). Strapping a MagnetoSpeed device to your barrel is going to change your barrel's harmonic. Then what? Now you've got potential erroneous flyers to address. Chronos are one of the first places where shooting sorcery takes root. As long as the one you have is consistent in its measurements, it doesn't really matter what the read-out happens to be. All of your calculations will be consistent (unless you're not even using your chrono correctly) to that readout and you will be able to effectively engage targets out to extreme ranges. Worst case ... you may be guessing at how many ft lbs of energy are being delivered to your target. The way you figure out if your chrono is consistent is to run a second (consistent) chrono together with yours. Shouldn't cost you more than three to five rounds. If you want to spend $300-$500 to ensure your peace-of-mind, no on here will be able to dissuade you. Cheers!! Chris [/QUOTE]
