    Congratulations!

    I have another film upcoming on the Superchrony. Short version:
    I got very reliable results (measured V0 was only 2 msec off expected V0) when I aimed the chrono at a 200m target and fired the bullet appr 40 cm (can't remember what it says on the back of the chrono). According to the Steinert accuracy calculator this was supposed to give 99,6% accuracy in the measurement if I remember.

    By tilting or leveling (i.e. not aiming carefully) at shorter range targets I don't get this good readings. Monday they will send me/lend me two (!) german uber-chronographs and I'll get definitive answers on how accurate it is.

    Hopefully this will save you some of the worry I've had comparing it to my Chrony.

    Good stuff! Can someone please put up a report on the accuracy of one of these things. If they are reliably accurate they would be way easier to set up and use than anything else, light and moderate wind conditions will never be a problem again. Making them IMO the best thing available in a decent price range.
    Arguably an Oehler or CED2 would be the best optical ones to compare one to.

    Looking forward a comparison.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    New acoustic chronograph

    I have put a few rounds over mine but haven't got my ced m2 to compare with.Need a new sensor,will see if I can borrow one.
    But so far seem to be working well,a lot easier to set up and use.The first time the wind picked up just after getting to the range but that wasn't a problem

    Do remember if the speeds were close to what you got with your CED?

    New acoustic chronograph

    I haven't put a tested load over yet,I'm a serial load developer lol but some loads looked a bit slow to what i had been getting over the CED
    Have sorted a sensor out so hopefully Wednesday arvo I'll be able to compare side by side.
