[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 794456, member: 2567"] The reason I bought the Chrony was because I have a friend who has a Chrony and he was recording faster velocities than I was, plus I have a loose wire on the pro chrono and sometimes it doesn't want to turn on. I have another friend that just bought a new chrony and he is recording some abnormally fast velocities from the 300 wby with 215 Bergers. Since he is new to long range shooting, I don't want him to get all frustrated when his drops don't match his G-7 range finder. In the past, it was always easy to blame the bullet maker's B.C. as being wrong to validate the velocity that was read with the chronograph. Now I have come to the conclusion that what the chronograph says really doesn't matter, get the velocity to match the drops and go with it. It just annoys me to buy a piece of equipment and not have it even be close to what it should be. I think the chrony is going on ebay for sale and I am going to keep my eyes open for an ohler. It is kind of hard to strive for a gun that shoots sub 1/2 moa only to have a chronograph that is the equivilent of shooting a 3 inch moa. [/QUOTE]
