I just type in the amount of elevation that it actually took and it corrects my velocity input in the app. Basically I was shooting my loads that were calculated to be about 2650FPS and borrowed a buddies handloads and had to make a correction and it revalidated the velocity of the different ammo to be 2700FPS. Is a Chrono going to be that much more accurate than real data corrections made by a computer?
Yes...without a dought.
different temps/altitude/barometric pressure etc... will give you different speeds.
Reloading is so subjective. Whats works for one may not work for the other. For me?....Id be lost without knowing my actual projectiles speed.
50 fps difference at 1000 yds equates to a miss...i gaurantee it.
