[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 189031, member: 2852"] Steve, Having access to a nice chrono and actually using it for it's intended purpose are two different things. No one is changing the rules here either. However, you are changing your story a bit. At first you say you have a lesser chrono that is inaccurate, then when I point out the short comings of it you automatically switch to the Oehler 43 as your alibi. Interesting. But from the way you speak, you only used it once and it was several years ago? No cheap shot at paper punchers. Perhaps you didn't read that part where I said I was a paper puncher too. But I am realistic about paper punching. It is not the end all be all of load development because it is shooting at known, even distances and usually includes custom equipment which is much easier to work with. You are the one who brought up paper punching in a somewhat condescending manner to try and intimidate others into believing your POV. It doesn't work with me because I am also a 1k paper puncher (and further) and a long range hunter and I develop loads for factory rifles that kill game at long distance. So I do two more things than you do and I do them with the help of a chronograph. This is not beating my chest, it is called supportive argument details. I have a question. You say that you "work" on your load and you change the sd by going up .5 grain in weight. But if you aren't shooting through a chrono when you do this, how do you know if you improved your sd on that load? The paper ain't gonna tell you that the .5 grain you added reduced your sd from 15 to 5. Only a chrono can do that! Steve, I am sorry but you still simply aren't getting what the majority of the posters in this thread are telling you! We are saying that you work on your load with the help of a chronograph! I don't see what is so hard to understand here. The chrono is a tool to help in load development, not just a gadget to use in isolated experiments once in a blue moon. [/QUOTE]
