TANFARM Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 After reloading 5-6K 9mm rounds , I figured it was time to pull the trigger on my own chronograph...yea I know...late to the party. After my due dillagance and research.....everybody has good and bad to say on all the popular models, I purchased a CE Pro digital model. I took it to the range yesterday on its maiden voyage. Got a new tripod , instruction absorbed??...set it up about 10 feet from the pistol with a back up target . I shot 12 different strings of different loads .....the machine preformed FLAWLESSL!!!!!!....Not only were all the shots recorded , but the summary data at the end of each string was excellent. The Good: I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for an occasional pistol Chrony. The instructions are straight forward , the machine is simple to use , and you can actually see the data from 10' away. The Bad: I did not realize you have to physically go to the unit to advance it to the next string. This is a royal pain....I'm investing in some device to eliminate this. The other bad news .....I am now the proud owner of 1200 rounds on 9 mm that barely make Minor power factor. Well I will use this stuff up and increase my charge for a better margin of error. I primarily use 3.4 grns. Of Vih. N320 with an Xtreme 147 HP from an STI Edge. Will increase to 3.5 - 3.6 for security . I'm sure this is all old news to you pros .....but I found the whole process fascinating and the machine is excellent. Just my experiences!!

RiggerJJ Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I have one and it's great. Total control from the phone, and the phone app stores the data in sessions that you lable. jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocrrhbow Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 This has sold me on the ProCrono with Bluetooth. I just recently purchased reloading equipment and this will be my last piece of kit to get me started. I am really looking forward to developing my own loads that I can be confident will be right, make PF and be accurate. Last year I had commercial ammo sent to production nationals for me. I did not spring for the match ammo, assuming that the regular stuff would be fine. Well, my ammo did not make minor PF so I shot the whole match for fun and no score. I am definitely going to fix that this year with my own ammo. looking forward to getting a chrono and working on loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
