I agree. I have not reloaded for a few years, but getting back into it, and with component cost and availability right now, I feel a chrono is money well spent… I thought about figuring it out via drops, but that will cost more ammo and only be so accurate unless you have access to a long range.That's great you have a 1000 yard range you can back into the ballistics with. I don't, and most folks don't. At least with respect to doing any regular range work. A chronograph is a great tool to find consistent loads. It gives information that can be valuable at longer ranges such as extreme spread.
I'm really curious that you bought a chronograph and have never used it? Maybe offer it to someone on the forum, or the OP. Then pick up something that's more useful.
I have a couple hundred primed brass ready to go, but I’m waiting for a chrono before I start loading…
