[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 147145, member: 2852"] Cruizin, What kind of Sd's are you getting now? You sound like your doing many things that help narrow down the load already. It should have already given you low sd's if your chrony is worth it's salt. HOw many powders have you tried? Unfortunately, Sportsmans Warehouse is way behind the times when it comes to chronographs. All they offer is shooters chronys which are about as good as the stuff that comes out of the south end of a north bound yak. I use one because I got it for $20 but it never gets put 10 feet from the muzzle. It is the chrono I put at 300 feet from the muzzle to get a ballistic coefficient reading. ANd it will only read on certain days and only if the bullet goes right past the brass elbows. 1" too high or too low will throw it off bad. Come to think of it, they are the most expensive chrono I have ever used because after all the gas, powder, bullets, and time is added up in trying to figure them out, you could have bought an Oehler 5 times over! I should say would have because you reportedly can't get an Oehler for the next few years. [ QUOTE ] What crony do you use? [/ QUOTE ] An Oehler 35. Now that it is gone, I don't know what I would buy. Everything else on the market only has two skyscreens and is on a short distance between them. If a fire were burning my house down, I would run into it to get my Oehler and leave my guns behind!
