I've been reloading for years and never used a chrono, but with my new 3" revolver I'm getting the itch to know what speed different loads are running.
I know next to nothing about chronos other than what they do. No information is going to be too simple for me.
What features should I look for? Is it possible to get an accurate and reliable one for $100 or less? Will shooting them in the shade or in the sun matter? What about under a tree where the leaves will make shadows move? My outdoor range is wooded, so that matters to me.
How far in front of the barrel does the chrono go? If I accidentally shoot one of the wires, is the machine broken or are they replaceable?
Any recommendations on brand and model?
