Chronograph ,is it neccessary

[bompa]

With all of the postings on loads,speeds,fpe and all of the other info on them is it worth buying a chronograph ? If so what make, model,etc would you suggest ....Thank you

Absolutely. You can't even begin to work up loads without them-- otherwise, everything you do is just guessing, a tough way to cross the street.

I like the Competitions Electronics ProChrono-- it reads when the others cannot.

It's nice though I would say its not a nessecity- there are a lot of favorite loads posted with most of what you need bullet/grains/FPS- To me mine is just another tool if I want to work up "NEW" loads or fine tune a specific speed/powder combo to the gun- I did well before I had it using stock loads so I cant say it is a must have "tool"...Rick

I agree with Rick, I have a Chrono but I've never used it with the Savage. I've done just fine without it. :wink:

If you plan on doing any shooting in the 200 yard plus range then yes it's an absolute must but I agree with what Randy said about working a load up...it's impossible without. Velocities vary far too much at different temperatures and elevations and with individual guns to ever properly work a load up with out knowing your gun's velocities.
