[QUOTE="BMF, post: 779990, member: 12201"] I agree with this stand.....mostly. I say that because a chrono can eliminate waisted rounds. At 100 or 200 yds a load may be extremely accurate but may have a 30,50, or even 70 fps ES. You won't find that out until you start shooting past 500~ yds. Then you have to go back to 200yds with a new load and start again. For me, that's where my chrono saves me time and rounds. I have an Oehler 35 and from what I can tell, it's pretty darn accurate. Therefore I don't even shoot a particular load long range until I achieve a desired E.S. I still do the same thing D.ID does, and back check every load at particular distances to verify that it drops what it's supposed too. So far, no number (fps) tweaking. A chrono is a fun tool, not necessary, but fun when they work. Like I said before though, I agree with D.ID, and there's nothin more accurate than actual gravity bullet drops to determin velocity.........assuming the B.C. is correct.:D [/QUOTE]
