[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2000379, member: 63925"] Short answer..YES. One very big reason if you shoot a bullet that doesn't have a published powder load, you can work up the load [U][B]in conjunction[/B][/U] with a chronograph for establishing ES, SD, velocity for drops and yes it will help signal when you can expect pressure to start showing up even for shorter ranges the OP is interested in mostly. A chronograph will also provide instant feedback on your reloading attention to detail for all aspects of reloading. My accuracy improved immensely when I first got a chronograph many years ago and saw how inconsistent my loads were for ES, SD and velocity. It makes you reassess your own reloading steps to identify areas of improvement. It can also tell you if something is amiss in your reloading process if your accuracy drops off along with your performance consistency.
