[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 933550, member: 50867"] I've been reloading for over fifty years. I shot both rifle and pistol competition for over thirty years, reloading my own ammo and collecting a lot of trophies, without a chronograph. So my response to "is it needed for reloading", would be no. I didn't apply a chronograph to my reloading practices until my competition challenges stretched out beyond 500 yards. That's because it adds one more element (velocity) to my calculations for determining the degree of reliability for a shot placed beyond that distance. At 1000 yards a chronograph is, IMO, essential because over that distance there are more environmental factors affecting bullet travel over a longer period of time and a consistent velocity can be very important for making those shots count. However, if you're going to add a chronograph to your collection of reloading toys, I'd strongly recommend the MagnetoSpeed. Which model best suits your needs is something best left to you. [/QUOTE]
