[QUOTE="Garou_22, post: 1739639, member: 108900"] Chronos are NOT all equal! Of all the equipment, this piece is the most research sensitive, in my opionion. But unless you're planning to shoot 1000+ regularly, it's also not critical. Especially if you have access to a range capable of 3-500yds - longer the better - since you can use witnessed adjusted drop from zero at further range to calculate MV. A chrono makes it easier and provides additional information like Standard Deviation; High, Low, Average and Mean velocities; some will indicate specific shots that measured abnormal characteristics (I.E. Öehler 35/35P). They also provide a starting point for MV which makes for correcting B.C. values easier to fine-tune dope tables. But if you're only shooting to 4-500 max, all of that info isn't really needed at all. And not having a chrono won't be a hindrance. If Long and extreme long range are your goal, however, then, yes, a GOOD (ie not cheap) chrono AND an ammometer are essential. [/QUOTE]
