Title: Rifle Range with Chronometer
Post by: aorams on April 30, 2014, 12:25:30 PM: Hi,

I am developing a load for my .300 and was wanting to shoot through a chronograph. Does anyone know of any ranges near Seattle that loans or rents them out? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I bought a Magnetospeed. I'm very happy with it. You have to obtain your chromo readings separately from accuracy shooting but that's a small price to pay for something you can use anywhere without a hassle.

Cheap too, I think it's only a buck to rent it.

Yeah, it's cheap for sure. Just check their website or call 'em first, their schedule changes around a lot.

Check their web site, gunsafety.org, before you go to make sure that the range is open and there are not any scheduled events, as well as for directions and phone number.
