[QUOTE="liltank, post: 644903, member: 13275"] Chronograph. It measures the speed of the bullet. Its use is to measure your velocity and try to load in a manner that keeps the speed variation as close as possibler or what we refer to as the extreme spread in speed (velocity difference between the slowest shot and fastest shot). Example: 2600 the low, and 2610 the high. This would be an extreme spread of 10fps. Most long range guys want to keep the ES (extreme spread) 10 fps or less for consistency. To large a spread and your rifle will not group well at long range ensuring a wounded animal instead of a dead one. It's also useful for figuring out your drop tables by giving you an average speed to work with to initially get you on target. You'll find target shooters looking for the elusive 5fps or less in the ES. [/QUOTE]
