[QUOTE="bailey1474, post: 104085, member: 3249"] [b]Re: Chrony[/b] Never set it up side by side w/an Oehler but can tell you that I have chronographed the same load out of the same gun on both an Oehler 35 and the CED. Of course the condidtions were different but I there was about 10-15 fps difference in the two averages w/the CED being faster. As far as shooting @ all distances, yes I do. I just look @ the chrono and computer program as a way to get close. Then I tweak the program to match my actual drops as closely as possible. While ballistics programs are a great tool, it is important to remember that they are just that. I guarantee if you hand a guy a rifle, some shells, a palm, a chrono and a BC of the bullet he won't get a one shot hit on a 10" cirle @ 1000 yds and the brand of chrono won't make one bit of difference. Unless, of course, he's as lucky as Lerch [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!!! With all that said, the CED as gotten me very close when shooting blind. I've had to tweak it some but no more than you would w/any other chrono, IMO. I'm not telling the Oehler is not a fine machine, it is. In fact, it's probably the best. I'm just telling you I'm happy w/my CED [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. [/QUOTE]
