I didn't want to hijack the other chrono thread, so I started another one.
I've got an old Pact Model 1XP chrono and I have had some issues with it lately and I'm looking for a little insight into my problem.
Problem #1-extreme variations in velocity. I'm talking several hundred FPS for a 22-250 and a 6.5 PRC.
Problem #2-it doesn't always give me a reading. No error or nothing.
This past weekend I set it up at the range to check some 6.5 PRC loads and some 7 mag loads. I fired 6 shots, 4 from the PRC and 2 from the 7 Mag and never got a reading.
Set up is 10 feet for the muzzle, new battery, the start and stop cables are installed correctly.
The only two things I can think of are it was a bright sunny day and the wind was blowing the skyscreens pretty good. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
