[QUOTE="CRNA, post: 582378, member: 22495"] Before you throw the chrono out at 200yds and use it as target practice try something. I had the same problem with numbers all over the place with my chrono. I got so frustrated at that thing I could have blown it to pieces. I couldn't figure out why my ES was all over the place. After much thought and pondering, I realized I was going to the range at the same time every day I shot. Hence, the sun was in the same position every time I shot. I could recall that every time I shot the sky was clear with a few passing clouds and the sunlight was kind of at an angle if you will in the evening. I purposely went back to the range on a COMPLETELY overcast day with light drizzle. Guess what? Problem solved. I have since found that my chrono will give believable numbers if the sun is 1) directly overhead, or 2) completely covered with an overcast sky. If the sky is partly cloudy, or if the sky is clear and either morning or evening, I don't even get the chrono out of the box. Try to shoot in CONSISTENT light with the chrono next time either bluebird day at noon, or completely overcast so there is no variation in lighting and see if things don't magically tighten up without changing the loads.
