Anybody else have one and any input would be nice
Tired of reloading and not knowing what I have at least now I will have an idea WHY ammo "A" is better than ammo "B" in my guns. Take Care George P. |

My Pact Model #1 measures velocity for single shots and averages velocity in a string. It also gives me the Hi/Low in up to, a 20 shot string, extreme spread within that ~20 shot string, standard deviation and average deviation.
My chrono was one of the first accessories I purchased when I got into reloading. I never knew RCBS made a chrono, so I'll have to go take a gander. I have chrono data logged, from the first rounds I ever loaded back around this time in '95. Chris |

A chronograph measures the speed of a bullet. That is all the information it provides. You will discover that some ammo will have wide variations in velocity, ES and SD and still shoot very well at 100 or 200 yards. Some ammo will have good numbers but group poorly anyway. The chronograph is your best source of information to let you know how close you are to maximums. It will also assist you in finding loads with low variations for long range shooting. You will no longer be estimating your velocities. Other than finding out how fast and consistent your loads are, it will have no effect on how the loads group on target. |
