Just wondering which model, make of chronographs guys are using.
Do you notice velocity swings with it ?
I had a Shooting Chrony & have used several different ones & they seemed to be very inconsistant.
It's still funny up the range with the Chrony & guys ask what it is/does :)
F1 Shooting Chrony. Get velocity swings but mainly due to having it too close to the muzzle blast. Usually reference it to 22lr match ammo during a test session.
I normally manage to nab a friends Oehler when testing. The readings seem consistent but sometimes it hates sunny days even with sunscreens on & refuses to read.
Oehler 35p
Yours :thumbsup:
Shooting crony. Its a rough indication:D If im using it Il put a couple over it of a load that has been over your Ohler Greg then if they are say 100fps fast readings on the day Il subtract that from the readings of the load im playing with.
Depending on the day it can vary from almost right to 140fps fast.
Would be interesting to put the same load over a few ohlers on the same day and see how much difference there actually is between them.
I have a Shooting Chrony somewhere.. its become a bit of a whore and everyones had a go with it (some have even shot it.. twice)- dunno where it is at the moment LOL
I've found its 30fps faster that CED2, and not sure about the Oehler as it was a piece of shit and never worked properly regardless of having new sensors, leads, brain etc
Its consistent and does the job for that I use it for
-Shooting Chrony.
Originally tried using its' readings as accurate: punched them into the ballistics program, and away I went shooting......:ORLY: ...learnt from that pretty quick beyond 300 yds :XD:
-so now I just use it as a guide, to get me onto an A3 piece of paper at 400 yds, and then start validating at different ranges from there.
......I also have a cardboard fridge box that I use at 800 yds...it leaves plenty of room for the chrony to screw up. (as naturally it couldn't possibly be my fault).
Chrony Beta Master, been sitting in shed for a few years but always seem to end up using someone elses ;) need to bust it out and have a play again, the fuckin menu system does my head in.
CED2:thumbsup:
I actually like the CED2 - Ive used our local clubs one & it is nice & simple to set up compared to the Oehler, reads about the same & have never had it not read unlike the occasional time with the oehler.
F1 Shooting Chrony also - I get the odd reading now and then but otherwise OK
F1 Chrony Beta Master
Cant dissagree with CED 2 if you want something to give reliable numbers at a good price,though my mate borrowed mine a while ago and couldnt get a reading out of it:wtfsmilie: I had to put IR screens on mine to get rid of the inconsistantcies with light change but its pretty good now, have used it right up till dark.
CED 2
Here is a simplified manual for the Chrony Beta Master if anyone is interested, a hell of a lot clearer than the mud factory gibberish: Attachment 2206Quote:

Can you get CED's in nz?
Don't know I got mine when I was in the US a couple of years ago. Where did everyone else get their CED's from??Quote:

My shooting chrony seems fine, using the numbers from it has always worked downrange for me. Seems to read badly on cloudy days so I just use it when it's sunny. Plus I've shot it twice and it's still going, and it's cheap enough that I can don't mind lending it to people, and it folds up to fit in a small box.
+1 but haven't got the IR screens,could someone fill me in on them?Quote:

Two of the four side supports have wire leads, contacts and power jacks molded into the plastic. Wires do not hang down inside the screens live area so they can be hit with a bullet! An NiMH battery pack with 8 hour rating and charger is available for total portability.

They did try and talk me into buying it, but couldn't afford.
Youll get the basic unit from sinclairs for around NZ $300-$320 another $200.00 for the screens and battery.
Shit is that right! That's plus shipping I take it? That's a good price with the IR screens
No that should be at your door. Check for your self though my maths has never been flash. Alow 50-60 US for freight maybe.
CED M2 Chronograph - Sinclair Intl
Serious Shooters has the basic unit for $350.

CED 2 for me, with the IR screens. :)
