Why??? would you want to shoot through your chronograph at 1768 yards?You can shoot through your chrony at 1768 yards?
No clue at all, you should read the post that I quoted asking why they do it. Post #18Why??? would you want to shoot through your chronograph at 1768 yards?
To calculate the BC of a projectile?Why??? would you want to shoot through your chronograph at 1768 yards?
Yes. I can buy that. But don't most bullet manufacturers have that information available in their reloading manuals or on their web sites?To calculate the BC of a projectile?
I think (not an expert here) that one would need two chronos to do that.
I don't think that you would need to have a chrono at nearly 1800 yards to arrive at a decent calculation, unless it is some really high velocity cartridge and one needs a subsonic velocity to calculate BC?
Some people make their own projectiles using swaging presses.Yes. I can buy that. But don't most bullet manufacturers have that information available in their reloading manuals or on their web sites?
Yeah. One of my uncles always blames missed shots on load variances too.Or at least knowing the high & low numbers. It only takes one flyer to miss when hunting.
To get any meaningful data for distance/load calculations you certainly would. Any variance at the muzzle would cause an exponential variance at distance... so without knowing exactly what velocity was at your near distance.... your distance chono reading would be rather worthless for load adjustments.I think (not an expert here) that one would need two chronos to do that.
