Your data has me thinking I need a new chronograph. LOL

Why?

 

[Newtosavage]

My numbers always seem to lag behind the numbers I see posted here.

I am using a magnetospeed, what do you have? About the only way we could figure something out would be if one of us mimics another one's load.....probably 7-08?

It's an inexpensive competition electronics pro chrono pal. Cost me $99 about 15 years ago.

These are on sale at Midway and look like a nice upgrade, esp. with the bluetooth.

I'm using the same one and it's worked great, same numbers my magnetospeed produced and hasn't missed a shot. Gonna put it side by side with a LabRadar for s&g's once the mountains dry out a bit.

@Newtosavage @harvey_nw I think mine is likely accurate. I have had two occasions at the range where random people had Labradars and asked if I could have a go in front of it. Differences over a handful of shots with each person's were single digit.

I probably should have said this in ALL, posts, but my barrel lengths are probably different. My 30-06 in a 24" Vanguard barrel with a muzzle brake, I think there's a possibility the muzzle brake makes it act like a 25", and the 22BR is a 25" barrel.

Finalized:
57,8gr IMR4166, CCI200, Barnes 130ttsx
I shot three to foul the barrel; 3298, 3295, 3297
I shot three with my other load's zero and made a guess they were off high, so I dialed up to the top edge of the paper and then put an aiming point near the bottom. Proceeded to shoot my last four into an acceptable group.



I traded all my Fed primers so the change was to CCI.
