[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 469586, member: 21068"] FWIW, in my opinion; if you're perfectly satisfied with sub moa at 1000 yds (as I believe most would be) then don't worry about it. Especially if the groups are minimum vertical spread. I've never put a whole lot of faith in chrono's, especially the cheaper ones. I would rather develop a tight load that shoots minimum vertical at long range and [B]then [/B]chronograph to get an average velocity. Rather than base my load off the chrono's data.........Just the way I've done it. I suppose that maybe some of the high dollar precision units might be useful for load development, but I've never had one of those. The most accurate factory barrel rifle I ever laid my hands on was my old 220 Swift Ruger 77. It shot 1/2 minute to 700 yds on calm days and all my load development was without a chrono. In fact, I had nearly 4000 rounds through the gun before I even bought a chrono. I am sure some others rely on chrono data and aren't satisfied unless they get small ES and SD #'s. [/QUOTE]
