    Chronometer Suggestions

    Anyone have any thoughts on the necessity of a chronograph? I'd like to see velocities of my loads and such.

    I'm very open to opinions and suggestions on one!

    Thanks!

      Chronograph?



      IMO an absolute necessity in handloading.

          I just researched this same question. All the people that know about these things suggested I buy a CED brand. I didn't want to spend the $200 so I bought a $79 Chrono. From what I understand both work about the same, however the chrono will miss shots more often than the CED. For what I'm using it for I didn't really care so I got the chrono. Plus, I'm not a very good shot so I'll probably shoot it anyway Better to shoot a $79 chronograph than a $200 one.

          But I read numerous posts on people that have owned a cheap chrono for over 10 years and it still works fine.

              Having lost a couple of Chronys to lead poisoning over the years, I now use the CED. The modular design is cheaper to repair, and I like the control panel and software.

                  I've has an Oehler 35 and a Chrony. The Chrony does everything the casual hand loader needs.

                  The CED is a great chronograph and worth the $ for the features it provides but if you can't justify the cost, buy a chrony. They work just fine.
