Back when I had access to a couple of chronographs, I learned a lot from those tools.
However, as much as I liked having that data, it wasn't enough for me to go buy one for myself.
I also learned (vicariously) that there are two types of people with chronographs:
Those who have shot their chronograph
And ......those who are going to shoot their chronograph.

Well so far we have not shot ours but I generally only use it to see what the velocity of the finished accurate load is.

I haven’t hit the chronograph itself, yet, but I did hit one of the steel rods that hold the sky screens. 44 magnum turned the rod into a pretzel and the chrony disappeared really fast! It still works…Back when I had access to a couple of chronographs, I learned a lot from those tools.

I like using mone because it slows me down. Private range, very calm and peaceful, hate to rush myself out of there (when the weather is nice) so getting chrony readings keeps me there longer.

Long shot & #9 have been good for me too. #7 is more for 40 for me. But Blue Dot is where I cut my teeth with -0mm.
Today I will reach for power Pistol before ANY other. Cast or jacketed.

My AA-7 gets used in 30 Luger and 30 Mauser/7.62 x 25 Tokarev. AA-9 and Blue Dot have done the heavy lifting for me in 10mm over the years. I have used too little Power Pistol to assess its performance fairly. The stuff is too damn hard to find on the west coast, even at my Covina reloading haven (Phillips Wholesale).
