[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 462483, member: 29281"] I hope you're prepared to spend quite a bit of money. 1. A big liability issue as noted above. 2. You want a "good cleaning at each yardage." A good cleaning isn't always necessary or even desirable in load workup. Do you know how long a good cleaning takes? 3. You want measured velocity at 200, 400 and 600 yards. I guess you know you have to shoot the bullets just over the sky screens of the chronograph. With a very accurate rifle, it's doable at 100 yards. With an even more accurate rifle it's doable with an accurate load at 200 yard if you're lucky. At ranges above that expect to replace chronographs regularly unless you have some type of heavy armor to shield the instrument from the many errant shots that will occur. 4. While your goal to have precise information for your rifle is a noble and ambitious one, it's a bit unnecessary and futile since velocities and ballistics for your rifle will vary depending on such factors as atmospheric pressure, temperature, barrel wear, different powder lots, etc. [/QUOTE]
