[QUOTE="Wildyote, post: 409696, member: 11934"] A local gentleman I used to see occasionally had a chrono but I'm not positive he is still around. Havent seen him in a few years but know he doesnt get out much due to a physical condition. I had thought about checking in with him when Ive got some loads up and running I feel are something Id use. Others have informed me on the possibility of the scope failing. Time will tell. Its new and with warrantee so guess Ill just have to see how it goes. I wasnt aware of the vibration difference and first Ive heard that mentioned. Interesting. Still looking at other scopes but funds are too tight now to do much different and, right or wrong, my decision was made and I bought the Simmons. It will get a work out before season and I plan to have some kind of back up on hand if needed, if in fact I dont and cant change that part of my set up. Ballistically I use the JBM tables for trajectory and energy but you are correct Ill need a chrono to know for sure where Im at unless I just want to record lots of drop statistics and compare the bullet used to different stated velocities on the JBM charts and get a guesstimate of where I am. It's doubtfull I'll HAVE many shots over 300 that I feel I MUST take but one needs to practice them regardless, JIC. I'm sure the shooter (me) will be more of a limiting factor than my loads or the MOA's capabilities. thanks again, Ernie. BTW congrats on another succesful session of L O N G range shooting out there. 1200 yards.......arghh. Thats a PIECE! [/QUOTE]
