Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph 1006315-SSI

Product Information

Suggest that folks also: 1) place rifle in a lead sled(ie well mounted) and possibly a remote trigger pull. If trying to eval groupings at same time. 2) space shots a similar amount in time with idea to let barrel be at approx. same temp 3) If practical, document each load for minor differences when loading to help in eval. of velocity data from your expensive chronograph. That is, slight change in charge etc. 4) take pains on each shot that it be aimed as perfectly as the last. Infrared (IR) LEDs provide the highest level of performance with the Chronograph sensors, IR light is not visible to the human eye so one visible red LED is included in each light strip for easy visual confirmation that the light kit is on and working.

If you want a more sure way of triggering it, you’ll need an external mic. And the only one that works is the one Labradar sells. How convenient. On sunny days place the chronograph in the shadow of a building or opaque wall. Ensure the sensors have a clear view of the sky, but the chronograph itself is in the shade. You could alternatively add sun shields to create a shadow. The goal is to eliminate direct sunlight on the chronograph, while still ensuring the sensors have a direct view of the sky. However, avoid placing the chronograph in the shade of a tree. The uneven sunlight that filters through the tree will cause more problems than it will solve. AS WITH ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICE, WATER CAN DAMAGE CERTAIN COMPONENTS. TO PREVENT DAMAGE, DO NOT USE CHRONOGRAPH OUTSIDE WHEN IT IS RAINING WITHOUT BEING PROTECTED. SPECIFICATIONS Examples are airguns, firearms, arrows, and paintball rifles. If you’re looking for versatile chronographs, the G2 is your best choice!

The Ballistic has a decently sized LCD screen that makes it easy to read. It measures its velocity by MPS (meters per second) or FPS (feet per second). Having used it for the past 4 years, I've come to love this chrono after having owned several other models not featured here. To be honest, I've never tried a MagnetoSpeed. While I have looked at them, I never liked the fact that you have to attach something directly to the barrel. If you're like me and shoot a lot of rounds, particularly during load development, I would think you could start melting things to the barrel... but not on my rifles! Plus how does a magnetic sensor work for a pistol? The chrono looks at the light above or below two sensors set apart by about a foot and waits for the light to be disturbed. Light on the first sensor is disturbed, and then X milliseconds later the light of the second sensor is disturbed. Another concern is that you need to shoot through the chrono for it to work. The field is fairly large so it’s not really that hard, but accidents happen. Caldwell Chrono light cable things With four buttons, the Skan is simple and intuitive to operate. You can enter the weight of the pellets you are using, and the unit will not only provide a reading in fps, but it will provide an energy reading in ft-lb.

While the Caldwell Ballistic Chronograph is a pretty basic setup, it has some convenient features worth mentioning. Most importantly, you don’t have to derive your data the old-school way since there is a companion app. You'll get the best readings with even lighting. Best case scenario is overcast skies, where the light is already diffused by clouds.This has a couple of major gains to it since first of all, you’re not having to shoot through points A and B to get it to work. MagnetoSpeed V3 on a Bergara B-14r in a MPA BA Chassis Because it is a large bayonet that straps onto your barrel — this can shift your point of impact while it is attached. It can also mess with your rifle harmonics and open or close your groups oddly. MagnetoSpeed V3 The Caldwell chronograph is a simple light sensor design that does what you need it to do and nothing else. It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and really has nothing you can screw up.
