So I'm ready to buy a chronograph to go along with my reloading set-up. I don't need fancy, but I do need accurate, repeatable, reliable.
For my use, I need to know velocities primarily in 243 and 30-06 for the purpose of creating a dope card and knowing the range at which the velocity will drop to a point that the projectile won't open or perform properly. I would also want to use it measure handgun velocities to calculate power factor for IDPA.
At the moment, I'm looking at the Caldwell units at Cabela's. Are those any good, and do they last for years and years? What other units have you had good service with?
