Well, the title of my thread is a bit misleading, more on that later.
Today was my first day out with my chrony. I must say that it was really interesting to see the direct results of my reloading experiments. What I mean by experiments was same bullet, but different powder and primer combinations. I found the results to be somewhat interesting.
9mm, 115 grain berry's platted bullets for all 3 sets. I had 2 powders Unique and Hodgon Clay's. 3 different primers (CCI, Federal, and Wolf). All bullets were set at 1.14. Here are my results:
3.6 grains of Hodgon Clay's with CCI primers = 1027 fps average
3.6 grains of Hodgon Clay's with Federal primers = 1034 fps average
4.6 grains of Unique with Wolf primers = 1030 fps average
I guess I expected to see a little bit more of a difference in my average fps.
As far a shooting my Chrony, I now know why people suggested that I consider using wooden rods to hold up the diffusers :embarassed:
