I'm using a Chrony with the remote readout, it has been reliable. I even set it up under a beach umbrella in the winter to keep the rain off it and get good readings.

Thing is.. I don't use the chrony much. Only when I'm working up a new load. I've got established loads for all my pistols and rifles. If accuracy tapers off for a particular rifle, they do come in handy to see if that load batch is inconsistent.

Oehler would definately be my 1st choice. I have a Beta Master Chrony which works, but uncomparable to the Oehler.

I have the CED M2 and it works very well. Doesn't have a print out but the computer unit that comes with it can down load to my laptop where I can look at all the data in spread sheet form.

I have a CED Millenium and really like it.

I see they have a new model out now too, might be worth looking into.

You can get a printer to add to a Chrony.

I have the Pact xp pro, w/ remote printer, piece of garbage. Very hard to center shots and would often get inconsistant readings. Purchased the ProChrono Digital at Cabelas, easy to setup, accurate and consistant.

I use a shooting F1 that I modified to have a remote readout with about 20 feet of wire.
never used any others, but I'm pretty happy with it, cheap enough I've put it out to 50 yards and shot through it without being concerned about hitting it (I need a lot more wire)
