RE: chronograph
I have used a "SHOOTING CHRONY" Beta version for sometime now and it works well for me. Seems to accurate as far as I can tell.
It has an extention phone cord that lets you read it out from several feet away.That is very handy.
Price was about $150 for mine.
Google a search for it and check it out.
Good luck

I also have the “Shooting Chrony” Master Alpha version with the extension cord. It also works well to have the screen near you as Raptor mentioned. After getting one you find out how fast the loads really are...

RE: chronograph
thanks guys ill definetly look at the model listed but i believe the oehler has a hand held also. not sure but will look further at both. ive used my gramps old oehler but i believe it needs to be fixed. he said its over 20yrs old. and well we are going to go together on one so maybe the oehelr wont be to bad that way but ill look at the shooting chron. thanks again.

The Pro Ghrono is a good one. I have had three different brands. The shooting ghrony was one brand. I don't recall the first one but it used the old paper screens. The Shooting Chrony worked well but the Pro Chrony is much less fussy about light conditions and such. Mine was about 120.00 but I have had it for about ten years so I don't know what they cost now.

[align=left]FYI, taken from their website:[/align][align=left]Oehler has reluctantly suspended production of handloader equipment, including the Model 35. Our current inventory of handloader systems is depleted. Production of industrial equipment and technical support for all Oehler equipment continues. You can still get warranty service and parts.[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]I have used the basic chrony and worked fine, although no memory.

RE: chronograph
I have a shooting chrony and its ok. sometimes you get a good reading, and sometimes not. I have had for for about 5 years, and wished I had the Oehler when I could get one.
But I notice alot of people getting the infarred units by CED millinium. They can be used in shaded or covered ranges. I might look into it.
