[QUOTE="thekyrifleman, post: 1050881, member: 67984"] duey, I hope so. Have/had a Shootin Chrony for over 30 years until I shot one of the metal support rods in half!!. Have read with interest, the revews on this site by those who have had one snce the VX1. Also relatively new to the long range game and trying to learn as much as I can. Been huntng and shootng for well over 60 years and thought my "long" shot on a whitetail doe at over 425 yds was something.......until I joined the brotherhood and began reading. WOW!! Anyhow, it has been a great learning process from very helpful people. Another load I developed for the STW, actually the first one, when I got the rifle in '92 is 140 gr Nosler BT over 85 gr of H1000. Gave me 3/4" @ 100 yds at a measured 3425fps. Using the Chrony......now I can compare.....That was developed at about 50 degrees F which was good, because it was a cold weather app. Since then I have reduced to 83 gr after getting some "shiners" on the case head during a 90 degree summer day!!! In reality, I killed probably a dozen deer with that 85 gr load, from 30 yds to 300 and it performed flawlessly. But, it is only for the "cold" weather.... [/QUOTE]
