Default RE: Chronographs

I got a F-1 Chrony that I have bought a printer for. Its pretty good. Especially for the price. Only problem is sunlight has to be right. In other words lets say you get 3000fps on a ideal day (overcast white sky) and then you might get 2960fps on a bright sunny blue sky day with sunscreens installed. One trick someone told me was to put clear scotch tape on the sensors to filter out scattered light. And it works actually.

If I wanted a chrono just to be curious on what my pet loads produce, I would go with the F-1 or Shooting Chrony. If you are serious, and want very accurate numbers for load workup like the ladder techinque, then oehler is your chrono.

Another thing to consider is your light conditions. My range is mostly covered and light has to be just right. Another one is the CED Millenium where you can get infared screens to use indoors low light or whatever. Pretty nice.
