New reloading tool!

[ScreaminEagle]

My new Alpha Master Chrony that the wife got me for my b-day! Gonna try it out tomorrow with my new 22-250. Any helpful hints on setting it up?

Congrats, you will love to have a crony sitting around to use. One tip I can say is make sure you have a good battery in it. And make sure that it is laying flat.

Congratulations. I don't like to go to the range w/o my Chrony. You'll enjoy the Master.

Man ain't that the truth. Now you really get to see just how far off your estimating from loads books really was. Yep POP, you said a mouth full there!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Thanks guys. I just tested it out with 12 shots from my .22 rimfire. With remington thunderbolts the standard deviation was 146 fps! That is a lot isn't it?

Hopefully the handloads for my 22-250 are a little better :wink:

They will be a whole lot better for you and you will see a real big difference.

Properly set up chronograph's don't lie, a crucial tool in developing loads.

You'll love it! I have the same one. My only advice is.....just don't shoot it! :wink:

HaHa yeah that would be bad. It says you can use a shotgun, but that sounds like a bad idea to me.

One of the most important... yet neglected... part of a reloading set-up right there. Congrats...

 

[DrMike]

If you haven't shot your Chrony, you're not shooting enough.

 

[ScreaminEagle]

Thanks guys for all the fast replies. I'll post up a range report tomorrow.

I have the same model. Great piece of kit. I really started to understand load development and such when I started using the chrony. I, unlike Mike, have not shot mine yet (knocking on wood), but then again, I deploy too much.. Hopefully if I do put a shot on mine, it is with my 45-70 and 300gr PT's so I can record the kill! I will post pictures of it! Scotty

I deploy too much..

I know what you mean. I'm thinking about going over again myself. Could use the money to buy more toys!

I carry two to the range, and pack a couple of extra sets of rods and sky screens. Things happen. :twisted:
