[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 207787, member: 2852"] I own a 35 Oehler, a Shooter Chrony alpha, and have shot through a CED M2, the Oehler 43, a Pact Pro, and several other old makes no longer made. Of them all, the Oehler 43 is far and away the most comprehensive and sophisticated machine. The CEDM2 is a fine machine and has many great features and is definitely the best machine out there right now since the Oehler 35 is on hiatus. The Oehler 35 is not quite as refined and fancy as the CED, but it has two features that the CED can't make up for. It has three screens and can be placed 2', 4', or 8' apart. This makes the chrono more accurate and three screens combined gives a proof or "second" comparison of the shot. Last week, I shot my 6ppc through my Oehler 35 with the CEDM2 right behind it. The readings were always within 10 fps on every shot. I believe I remember the owner of CED telling me that the photolenses in the CED are the exact same as those used by OEhler. The downsides of the CED I saw that day were that it will not give you a standard deviation reading on any group unless it is a five shot group. This is an inconvenience for working on magnums in my opinion since I only use 3 shot groups for load development. But on three shot groups, you can simply divide the extreme spread by two and that will be your deviation. So it's not a big deal just something I would like to see fixed in the new programming. The upsides of the CED are the nice readout, the LCD display, the functions and programs, the ability to hook up to a computer, easy disassembly, and they look plain cool! For sure, the best chrono on the market now. The shooter chrony's are entry level chrono's and I hate mine. I only use it for checking ballistic coefficients at 100 yards. It won't work unless the bullet passes exactly by the right place above the lens, and it hates sunny days. I have even modified the diffusers to provide more shade but it helped only marginally. IMHO, save up another Franklin and get the CED. You'll be glad you did. [/QUOTE]
