[QUOTE="Holmes, post: 26460, member: 457"] **** infernal squeeze box that lies to me [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] The little Chrony worked well enough for me over the years for traditional hunting purposes but, having been infected with the LR virus a couple of years ago, the wee beast is down to four days and a wakeup. Yesterday at the range conditions were hosyile for Chrony use; completely overcast and dark with a Southeaster coming at me from two o'clock. Testing three load batches with RL22, IMR 4350, and H4831SC. Allfamiliar powders. Cases sorted and carefully neck sized. Charges weighed. Velocities all over the place! 100 fps variations common. Tried modified screens, tried no screeens, tried long rods and short rods, tried new battery, blacked my bullets. Readings still very questionable. Three hours wasted as this data cannot be trusted for use in a ballistic program. I've used the Chrony for some years now and I know my way around its little personality quirks but I can go no further with such poor data. I've got a rifle now that will consistently stay inside .5MOA and I subject it to a WalMart quality analytical device... utter imbecility. Next time, just slap me, would ya? Just received an email with the tracking number for the Oehler 35 that is enroute [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I can't wait to lug the cumbersome beast around and log numbers that are not subject to the Clintonian rule of accuracy. Come to think of it, I may donate the used Chrony to the Clinton Museum for his exhibit on the meaning of the word, "is". Feeling better now... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
