Timattalon, do they have a chrony at the range? also looked up the membership and its getting up there. It would be a hard call if I had to pay that to start reloading.
Did I get it wrong?

Membership is around $200 per year, but that includes 24hr swipe access to the range as well as access to the loading equipment (presses, scales , and dies etc) If you want to shoot at the range a couple times a year it is probably too much, but if you want to shoot regularly it is worth it. They have public nights ($20 per Tuesday night for the rifle range for non members) and they so shotgun there as well. There is a great facility there and it is well worth looking into.

Otherwise if you only want to visit occasionally for the range, you can go as a guest of another member for $20 per visit.

($200 per year is $16.67 per month) So if you go once a month or more it is actually good value.

There is no Chrony there, but it depends on what accuracy you are chasing. I dont use one on mine. I generally find a load that is accurate, then go and find out in practise, where it goes at longer distances. Mine is a 215gr Round nose woodleigh projectile that with its trajectory I worked out it was around 2000 to 2200 fps. When I finally had a mate turn up with a chono I found it was 2096 +/- 40fps and it drops animals like a hammer.
