Id like to know what you folks are using for your chronograph. If you are, that is. Some people say its not that important, I'd like to know about how fast im going but I guess im not so worried that I want to buy some super ultra sensitive deal.

Chrono isn’t essential for basic reloading but it is mandatory if you want to find the most consistent SDs and ESs.
I have an older generation Labradar. It works fine, especially after I bought an inertia trigger for it, but is a little bulky. The new wave are the Garmin Xero and the Athlon Rangecraft. I’ve not messed with either but have read the Rangecraft is level on quality with the Garmin and significantly cheaper.

I’m not good at selling stuff so have a CED pro-chrono, magnetospeed sporter, OG labradar, and athlon rangecraft. Preference order would be last to first.
A guy could probably pick up a used labradar on the cheap but I’d look for one with the trigger on it.

Yeah so im pretty basic right now. So basically I haven't loaded a single case yet. I was planning on just using a ballistic calculator and calculate velocity by finding my bullet drop at 100 to 500 yards.

Start basic and just get this stuff and reload! It isn’t hard, but it does take time…

This is a good start for a reloading setup.
