Chronograph preference?

[Chilly807]

I find myself in the market for an economical chronograph for rifle and maybe handgun reloading.

The two I've short-listed are the ProChrono Digital and some version of the Shooting Chrony, most likely the F1.
I don't need much data other than reliable bullet speed, bells and whistles need not apply.

The Caldwell Ballistic Precision is not on my list at all (too many poor reviews). MagnetoSpeed and LabRadar aren't going to happen either.

Of the two I've listed, which would you recommend based on personal experiences or at the very least, reliable hearsay?

I've got a CED, Pact, Shooting Crony and the Prochrono.
By far, my favorite is the ProChrono. Simple, easy - accurate - works every time.

The Bluetooth adapter is really great for recording stuff to my phone and the PC adapter worked great when I ran two in a pair chronographing the IPSC Canadian Nationals Competitors in 2016.
Nice big display with both times right there for all to see.

`I'm running a PACT Professional and 4 Shooting Chrony's.

My fav is the PACT but they all work well.

CED M-2 was my choice for both pistol and rifle..

Running the caldwell one
Get exact same results as a CED when placed side to side
For the price it's great

You mention rifle, rifle i'd rather magneto speed sporter
Only 300$, much easier to set up on a rifle firing line

I have had two shooting chrony units, I found both to be VERY finicky about lighting conditions, I had to carry a folded up box to put over them to block bright sunlight, also seem to be sensitive to muzzle blast. Also shooting chronys seem to be bullet magnets!!!
i just bought the caldwell unit that connects to my phone/app, IT WORKS!!the app is finicky to connect at times but it works and saves data for reference, does all the math including deviation average spread etc. It even calculates true muzzle velocity once you input the distance from the muzzle!!
I am very happy with the caldwell unit.

J.p.

No complaints about mine. Love the built in printer.

AFAIK there aren't any. When I got mine, I ordered directly from PACT.
