Chronograph?
« on: May 08, 2021, 08:41:58 PM »
Have never owned my own chronograph. As I near retirement I plant do more reloading and shooting at the range. The Magnetospeed chronograph looks pretty good, simple but functional. Any opinions out there? Thanks

I purchased a magnetospeed when they first came out. It works very well and is easy to use,but it does affect point of impact. I have had a labrader for a number of years now and would never go back to an optical or magnetospeed chronograph. I guess it depends on how much you reload and shoot,but I think it’s well worth the extra cost.

I have been using the simple Caldwell chronograph for a few years now and it works just fine for me.

I purchased a Caldwell and for the most part its ok, couple of errors if the round is not centered directly of the pick up. It’s software will take photos and measure group size and for the money its good. I shoot more often now with several calibers and bullet development now I am switching to the lab radar.

I got the Garmin Zero C1 chronograph and it's great.Will record arrow, pellet gun, pistol and rifle. Easy to operate and software app to keep data. About the size of a pack of cigarettes and comes with a tripod to set up out beside your rifle.

Agree with this.  So simple and accurate.  Did a comparison with a friends Euler (sp?) and ther were very close to each other without the setup hassle.
