[QUOTE="jlw1974, post: 2000414, member: 40582"] If you just need to use it once or twice, maybe ask to borrow one to get numbers for a preferred load? I know at my shooting range, if you want to shoot Mid-to-Long Range, you have to qualify and that process requires you to share your loading information along with chronograph readings (SD, Avg, etc.) and shoot a 5-shot group within 1-MOA at 100-yards. Having a chronograph helps tremendously to know the Avg speed of your loads so you can put together good drop-charts for various distances vs 'spray and prey'. I can also help determine if your scope's elevation and reticles are tracking properly as you make adjustments. At the end of the day, everything is a system...the loads you use, seating depth, rifle setup, etc...has to go hand-in-hand to get consistent results. [/QUOTE]
