    I've recently taken a hind at 670yds with the 143rg eldx with my 6.5x284 2965fps I'd be interested in trying the 147gr but the performance of the 143gr was brilliant, 2in entry hole through the...

    Possibly a bigger consideration.....is which of the 3 projectiles is actually reliably available and in useful quantities? That might make the decision easier.

    See if you can hire a Chrony. There was / is a forum one somewhere ???. Hire one and see how it goes and if you can, get to the range really early - before any mirage or wind and that will help...

    I have a Prochrono that is over 20 years old, and a Magnetospeed V3 I bought secondhand. I fired 5 shots over both, for 3 of the shots there was only a 1fps difference between the two, IIRC the other...

    After I built the covid 'lockdown project' shed over the bench I read the chrono instructions and dappled light is out, so then I had to cut a whole lot of branches off the hedge to give a clear sky...

    The sporter model is $450 or there about's in NZ, it has exactly the same accuracy as the V3 model which is around $950. The downside is the sporter doesn't work so well with a suppressor and needs...

    +2 for Magneto Speed, really impressed with them compared to the CED M2 I had before. Picked mine up 2nd hand. (& I cant afford to splash that much cash on the radar job)

    Yep, the M2 lets you upload to you PC. If you want to do that. IIRC CED has its own PC app. I did upload with my M2 and do with my current chrono. With my old F1 I just wrote the numbers down as I...
