[QUOTE="jerrschmitt, post: 522791, member: 16076"] I have often wondered about the accuracy of chronographs but I have never seen it addressed. From a purely practical point, you may be on to something. If I take a guesstamate of my velocity, use the factory published BC and plug those into a ballistic program then generate a dope card which I fine tune on the range out to 600 yards, by adjusting the velocity and BC figures, do I really need a chronograph? I have never found a load that worked 100% on any ballistic program. I've always had to make adjustments to Velocity or/and BC. I know that when I'm done, the prairie dogs are in big trouble.
