Basic Chronograph

[RielM]

What is a good option for a basic, reasonable priced chronograph? At this point, I just need it for IPSC handgun loads to verify power factors.

Agreed. A shooting bud and myself have had good performance from ours. We've run them in tandem a few times, just to double check them against each other, and the readings have always been within a few feet of each other.

Caldwell pro kit has served me pretty well. Tracks great compared to more expensive units.

Tagged for interest. Looking at getting one myself as well.

I have the Beta Master Chrony: http://www.shootingchrony.com/images/Beta_Master Chrony.jpg
I like the idea of the separate display. Does the job for me, plus they are based in Mississauga.

Yes, with their indoor light source can do arrows and anything faster indoors and out. Computer link very useful.
Not at the ranges mercy when you want to reset for a different string.

This.. mine has been completely reliable in the time I've owned it. I use the velocity numbers to feed a long range ballistics calculator, which has been spot on so far.

I've been utilizing the Chrony F-1 for years, and it never let me down. It's their basic model and does all what I require.............calculates bullet velocity.

Yep, works fine. Comes with a wired connection that plugs into your smartphone that records the readings with downloaded app.
