While not absolutely critical, a chronograph is a very handy tool during load development to personalize loading data. In fact, some hand loaders and shooters find it is as important as a good rest when testing ammo. Often times, the actual muzzle velocity you get from a specific hand load or even factory ammunition is different than what is published in the book or printed on the box. This velocity can vary by as much as 150fps or more.
The Caldwell Shooting Supplies Ballistic Precision Chronograph utilizes a high speed 48 MHz processor that allows it be factory calibrated to within 0.25% accuracy, much better than other chronographs on the market. Although technologically advanced, the unit is designed to be simple to operate, displaying velocity in Feet per second or Meters per second on the large built in LCD screen. The Chrono can also deliver the shot string velocity data through the 15' foot audio jack cable (included) to an iPhone or iPad.

The Caldwell Chronograph
The Caldwell Chronograph Premium Kit is a fantastic value as it includes a tripod (flimsy but it works) and an infra-red light kit with a battery pack that lasts for several hours. Only disappointment is with the free smartphone app not working on older Android versions but Caldwell is working on that problem. It gets five bullets when that's fixed but get one now!
