[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1535323, member: 2736"] I consider a chronograph a tool for improving the consistency of a load. It is not the final word though. I have dealt with the different BC at different distances/velocities from the same load and find that I still have to establish the true BC of a bullet other than the manufactures Advertised BC. Most Of the time factory BC,s are established under Ideal conditions and are rarely the same in your environment. So I prefer to use a chronograph for load development and then with the most consistent and accurate load I will shoot at distances up to 600 yards and get the trajectory to find the true BCs that match the trajectories for my conditions. Once the True BCs are found, you can use these with ballistic programs and get very good results. I use two different kinds of chronographs and under stand their strong points and weak points (All chronographs have them) and as long as they are accurate and consistent they do a great job. The advantage of owning two chronographs is that if I think one is acting up I can switch to the other one to check It. I'm not pushing any brand of chronograph so it matters not which one a person uses as long as he gets what HE wants from it. Chronographs are invaluable as far as I am concerned and they have saved me tons of loading components and barrel wear looking for a good loads. They have also forced me to improve my loading skills and equipment. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
