I find the Shooting Chrony to be extremely tempermental indoors and outdoors. It absolutely needs the diffusers. I think it is a piece of junk. I got myself a Prochrono about 4 years ago and never looked back. I never use the diffusers. I use it outdoors irregardless of cloud conditions: totally cle...

I just started using/reloading for .30-30 in a Marlin so I guess it's making a "come back" :mrgreen: I dunno if I am representative of other folks' rationales for looking at the .30-30 but my reasons are: I already load/cast for widely popular .308 as my primary so going "laterally&qu...

That pic of your kid is priceless!!
