MRDON, really no way to determine what velocity You will get with
Your gun - you'll have to test it yourself - try shooting it about
12 feet away from the chrono.
To determine accuracy, depends on what you're doing with the gun -
I like to try about 20 yards - but some like 15, 25 or 50 yards.
By adjusting OAL, powder and powder charges, and bullets, you
should be able to eventually find a load that is a lot more
accurate and easier to shoot than factory loads - save some
money, too.
Took my new Pro Chrono to the range today in 101 Temp.to test the aforementioned load.I compared my load to factory Magtek and UMC in same bullet and weight. Shooting a 5 inch XD. 8 shot strings each. My load average was 746 fps, Magtek 831 and UMC 834. I also compared accuracy at 40' freehand and my loads seemed low and not as consistant as the other 2. Granted it wasn't from a rest but I tend to think the results were fairly reliable.Could I be messing something up or should I try another 100 Rds to get a better feel for how the're performing? Any thoughts on all this?
