Thread: Some Thoughts on Handloading.

My Chronograph is just an optical Caldwell. Nowhere near as good as GPM's Oehler but still it's quite an aid in load development. I reckon typically it's inaccurate by about 50 fps either above or below true velocity. Readings vary relative to ambient light. I average a series of velocities to arrive at a typical figure. Generlly it puts me in the ballpark. Certain loads I verify out to 400 yds and find them pretty close to published data. Good enough for my field shooting needs.
