    Chronograph results. What says you

    Was shooting 42g just out of luck and really shot well for being luck. Found a Garmin in stock so bought it and this is a first go. I cut through most that I felt was nothing worth seeing. I kept 42g as thats what I was shooting with good results. Based on looking at this im thinking 43.7 or 43.8??? Get a bit more speed and really the numbers look better.

    What says you? My first rodeo here. Yeah I know I need more of a sample but this is what we have now.

    What do you targets tell you?

    I have had loads that gave excellent SDs and shot like poo poo and I have had some with horrible SDs that shot great. I mainly use a chrono to check SDs and make sure I am not exceeding velocities from published max loads but the target ultimately tells me what load I will go with.

    Good numbers. I just got the new Garmin XERO in last week from BPS with their 10% discount. It sure will be alot more convenient then the beta master chrony I've been using all the past years.

    You cant beat how easy it is to use. Granted I havent used it a lot but I havent had it miss a shot.
