[QUOTE="o2bmark, post: 2000411, member: 6358"] I use QuickLoad software and for that a chrono is essential even for pistol loads. The chrono lets me tune the burn rate in QL so I can accurately determine chamber pressure. I also look for velocity nodes since I seldom have extreme range ladders for load development. The extreme and crude things I went through as a kid to determine velocity (penetration in wood, spinning disks etc.) makes it impossible for me personally to ignore the many cheap and accurate chronographs available now. The chronograph accelerates my learning curve and satisfies my curiosity. All of that being said, I also enjoy my rimfire guns because of the reduced variables to think about while I just enjoy "shooting". [/QUOTE]
