Thread: CDS/Chrono Question

I love my CDS - I used a 10 round average over a chrony and took the average.
(factory ammo)

Works great for me!

Thanks All, really helpful and I will take it all into consideration. I’m definitely going to try and get to a long distance range, it just makes sense that if the 400m bullet drop matches the chrono’d muzzle velocity then I’m on the right track. Btw, longest shot would likely be 400m, 300m currently my longest and only once as I was just not able to get any closer. Not sure where to find one near Dunedin, the Bruce Rifle Range doesn’t seem to answer calls or emails, might have to make a trip to Invercargill.

As time goes on I have experienced more scenarios where a long range shot (400m +) would be necessary, I watched a wounded tahr limp up and over a ridge, stopping side on occasionally. And sometimes they just spot you and that’s as close as you’re gonna get, any movement beyond moving into a prone position and it’s game over!

Personally I wouldn't go for a cds. With paired ballistic apps these days that you can put a ballistic curve into they are just as fast as a cds. Range, get moa from range finder dial moa.
This also gives you the flexibility to change loads projectiles etc. I think this is particularly relevant when using factory ammo that is highly likely to change over time.
