which cronograph?

I've been reloading for 20+ years and never once fired through a chrono. Probably would have saved myself a bunch of powder and time. Anyway, thinking of picking one up. what say you? I'm not looking to break the bank and would probably only use it a few times a year.

I've got the basic Caldwell chronograph. It works fairly well. Should have bought the deluxe model with the lights like everyone recommended. In low light or cloudy conditions it will miss or not read shots. Otherwise for the money and how little I use it, it works fine.

I bought the Caldwell premium kit. Which is like the basic but comes with lights, tripod and carrying case. I think it was $115-$120. Something like that. Works good and you can load Caldwells app on your phone. Then you can save strings with various data to print off or whatever you wanna do. You can also put the picture of the group on the page

I ended up getting the premium kit so we will see how it does. the others are nice but i just couldnt justify spending big bucks for one.

Let us know! I'd like feedback on how the lighting system works.

I have a Chrony Beta Master, and like it. Useful for all types of single projectiles, including an arrow.

I have had light issues, but taped a LED battery powered light to each shade to eliminate that issue.

Mine gets in tomorrow. Found one for less than 380 so I had to jump on it. I’ll be doing some updating to some posts with data and give it a review after a while. First impressions for sure. Stay tuned

That’s the beauty of what we can do as reloaders
