Sooner or later you are going to wonder what are the optimum reloading recipes for your reloaded rounds. Just how fast ARE those bullets travelling in FPS (feet per second)?
This is where the chronograph comes in handy. The chronograph is an affordable and easy to use instrument that measures the speed in FPS (feet per second) of a bullet shot out of your gun.
By using a chronograph, you are able to accurately see and record bullet velocities so you can adjust your reloading recipes accordingly.
In the past few years, the cost of chronographs have plummeted, making them a must-have tool for most reloaders.
In the video tutorial below, we will learn more about how to set up and and use a chronograph, how they work, and how they can help us as we reload our own ammunition.
