Sounds like a "Chrony Convention"........

[/align]Yep, I got the Beta Master as well. I live not to far from where they make them, and for the money, you can't not have one. Kinda like the days just before the microwave where you thought "what the hell do I need that for ?", then once you had it, you couldn't live without one.

There's more to ballistic's than just accuracy, and the speed of the bullet (in a particular area of barrel harmonic's) has more to do with accuracy than does just hitting it lucky. Like it was mentioned, knowing your bullet's velocity, is knowing your bullet's drop & energyat various ranges throughout your shooting distances.

[/align]If you hunt at longish ranges, this is a must.

My findings over the years, are exactly what you fella's mentioned regarding a higher book listing than what my chronograph had been showing. Mostly all, except for several loads with 4895. It was a little lower but much closer.

[/align]If you are a knowledgible loader, and careful regarding signs & pressures, you can build your loads up to your needed levels using that chronograph. Without one, you'd be driving blind, and I wouldn't even try.

FWIW......
