    Seems she likes 41.5 but not 41
    Are u happy u didn't pull any shots, nice shooting BTW.
    What maximum distance u going to use it at. I like to decide on a speed/ energy at a certain distance for a task. Loads that groups best closest to that speed wins for hunting guns.
    Target guns like F class and the bench resters - I've seen blokes play around with just adjusting the jump by 1 thou to maybe gain 0.01 on a group and cutting meplats etc. I'd rather spend time hunting, any of those loads would have put meat on the table.
    Don't know what chrono u use. If it's the opening green chrony with the white screens, use 2 led torches or slap some together from jaycar, point the light source down through the screen at the receptor. Often in sunlight with a bit of cloud around the sensor doesn't sense proper, the light is constant and leads to better sensing of the bullet passing. If u dont understand what I mean pm me , I'll send u a drawing.
    Also try to compare your crony to others. Mine is about 35 - 37 fps slower than true( well the average from 7 we tested) would be nice to have a doppler


    Well done for a 1st go m8. That kinetic puller is worth its $.
