[QUOTE="Cruizin, post: 927801, member: 7095"] I feel the same way about chronographs as I do about monopods. Waste of time, and if you think you need one you haven't shot enough or don't know what you are doing. I've shot over a CED, and an Oehler. The numbers they give you won't line your shots up at distance so all they do is show you ES and SD. Save yourself a bunch of time, money and [EMAIL="bullsh%@t"]bullsh%$t[/EMAIL] and just shoot at 100, get your rifle zeroed, step out to 400, then 700 or so and then go out to 1k. Work with the real numbers and look at your vertical spread. The other thing you have to consider is your throat is constantly changing and as your barrel gets more rounds through it your fps drop a little. Things like these variables make me think cronos are just silly and a waste of time and money. I've watched guys shoot over an Oehler one day and then same load another day and get really frustrated with the numbers coming out of the darn thing. [/QUOTE]
