Chronograph

[Vernon]

I am looking to buy a Chronograph. I have never used one so i really don't know what I'm looking for, Could someone suggest a good model to start with. I would like to keep the price around 100 dollars. Thanks for any help.

I got one of these and it works great. It does not have all the features that the more expensive ones. This one gives you the velocity for the SD and extream spread you will have to calculate on your own. Which is not to hard.

I bought the CED Millenium because of the IR screen option. I do most of my load development in the evening after work; that wouldn't work without the IR screens. I actually block ambient light to maintain a consistent condition for the sensors. I've used an Oehler and the CED; the CED screens were much less fussy. I shoot molyed .22 caliber bullets at high velocity on ranges that are dark,grass-covered) or light,bare earth) with no problems. The IR screens run on batteries as well as AC, so they can be used anywhere.

If you're interested in the CED, I'd recommend buying it from Jim Ristow at Recreational Software; he's great to deal with and he usually has a deal to throw in a few extra bits at no charge. While you're there, check out the Shooting Lab software - I think it's the best ballistics/reloading package available.
