[QUOTE="JAM07Sport, post: 2400607, member: 70361"] So I should clarify when the sporter worked, it worked fine never missed a shot. At the end I was getting weird spreads. My 6 dasher is a consistent 20fps or less standard deviations. It was telling me 200fps spreads. So one day we compared 3 Chronos at the range we strapped the Sporter to 3 different rifles shot them over a Oehler 35 and had a lab radar set up also. The Oehler and lab all read 20fps or less spreads. The sporter was all over the place. So when I say stopped working it was not reliable. Not sure what happened. The way I looked at it was a tool to get starting point for building dope cards. What I have learned is none of the chronographs will get you a first round hit off data past 500yds. Well depending on your target size. I am talking sub moa at given distance. Since I now have local access to a place to shoot up to 1000yds I am satisfied with a device that has the ability to send my data to my phone and lets me create files for each rifle that costs under $90. The data then becomes a reference point for me to field verify. I should mention it is not uncommon for multiple Chronographs to read up to 50fps difference when reading the same projectile on the same day in the same conditions. As for POI shift I had as much as 4 MOA with the sporter. On my 280 I could hold zero and be on target at 300yds. Could be a good thing depending on how you look at it. I also noticed the Sporter tightened up groups on some rifles as it acted like a tuner. So verify your loads if you develop with the bayonet on. [/QUOTE]
