Title: Best Chrono for the $$$
Post by: MuleySniper on May 11, 2011, 08:17:15 PM

Hey guys. Been getting deeper in the whole reload thing and I'm finding I really need a chrono so I can start getting real picky :chuckle: What's the best bang for the buck? I don't need all the fancy charting print off stuff. Just something reliable and accurate I can shoot my rifles and bow through. I want to stay under a $100. What are you guys using that you're happy with? Suggestions where to buy are a plus too. I like to order online...
Thanks!
MS

I've had the original Shooting Chrony for the last 15 years or so. There are better ones for more money with integrated printers and such but I believe that the biggest bang for the buck is this brand/model.

Yep, I agree that's the best one for the money.  I've never had one, but I've shot through a LOT of them at matches when they calculate your power factor, and their velocities have always seemed to match my Oeler 35p.  If I hadn't won the Oeler at a pistol match, I would've bought a Shootingchrony.
