I shot last weekend with my chronograph. It was coated in black after about 30 shots. Are there any tricks to using the chronograph with a muzzleloader. Never had this problem with my bow or centerfire. I am thinking Saranwrap or something to cover it, but just looking to see if anyone else has some innovative ideas.
I place my Chrony 10' or 15' (exactly to center of box) downrange. I have never had any BP fouling on it doing it this way. Correct for MV by adding +- 15 FPS to the instrumental velocity. (Army ordnance chronographs small arms ammo at 78 feet from the muzzle.)
