[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1999991, member: 94154"] As stated by [USER=27974]@fmuguira[/USER] , not needed but very useful and certainly not essential. There are those who may scold you that a chronograph is essential to determine if you are overpressure on your rounds. I have two, a magnospeed and chrony beta and have used them a dozen times in eight years. Knowing my MV is useful for dope cards, but more often than not, I'll determine that stuff empirically. Edit to add: I like knowing what velocities I get out of my loads, but have found the most accurate are seldom the fastest, and have read other shooter's claims of 3000 FPS out of a 28" tube, 338 Lapua with 90gr of Retumbo under a Berger 300OTM, and the best I'll see is 2800 at 94gr. Do I think I'm doing anything wrong? Nah, my bullets are touching at 300 yards. [/QUOTE]
