New kid on the block FX Outdoors True Ballistic Chronograph

MALARKEY!!!

He did mention that the sabot and the bullet traveling in separate direction probably messes up the recordings. Note, the Labradar also didn't pick up the sabot'd rounds.

The lab radar is useless above 4K regardless, we have them stacked up like cord wood

Really? Didn't know that. I always thought it could do up to 9999fps. Looked it up and I superimposed the number of shot series (9999) with the FPS, one line below it.

 

[KurtisB]

I wonder if the pulse repetition is a bit too slow for faster than 4k fps.

I never needed one that read beyond 4K until I came across ButterBean!
He's got us all hooked on speed! Well not the drug... but kinda like it.

It’s what I do

My $85 one reads 5K. I don't see the big deal.

let me demo. My 17Cal shoots 5060FPS.

I've been following this thread and I looked up my particular chronograph ( on sale 3 yrs ago) it is no longer available. They sell a $130 model that does what mine does. Specs say it'll read 9999 FPS.

Joe you are about halfway there!

 

[joe16]

The only number I'm chasing is 5280...

 

[joe16]

And I've failed twice

 

[Mountainman]

And I've failed twice

Aim small, miss small. LOL. I lucked out and got there the first time I tried...........with an audience! 28 Nosler. Got to 4200 with my 30-06 that day as well

 

[joe16]

5280

not 4200.

[Mountainman]

5280 feet with my 28 Nosler. 4200 feet with my 30-06 (didn't make it either one in a second though)

I broke down and bought one of these new chronographs today. I'll give y'all a report next week.

Is there any accuracy at those speeds???
And barrel life???
Just asking for a friend.

We're just goofing around. 5,280 feet is 1 mile. I don't have any rifles that shoot 5000 fps but I got a couple will shoot 5,280 feet. 28 Nosler with 190 grain A-tips at 3160 fps. Had a Revic scope on it. Just dialed 1760 in the HUD and hit it three times in a row with a spotter and two witnesses. Then I put it up acting like I did it every day. 10" group but I was pretty proud. 4200 feet is 1400 yards and I smacked that one as well with my custom 30-06. Probably my best range day ever.

 

[joe16]

Barrel life I'm not sure my 300 rum is still kicking pretty good at 600ish and the 22 Creedmoor only has probably 500 shots on it. It only eats 88 grain eldms other than the 5K Chase.

 

[littlebighorn]

Well Joe, My 22 Creedmoor should be fire ready in another few weeks so I may have to hit you up on what medicine to load. My Swift also cracks 4K if I want it to but it's best accuracy load is just under that. I'm pretty sure I won't be chasing 5K...but maybe.

Do I see a little smoke coming from the side of those barrels?
