Chronograph came in yesterday. I went with just an entry level, cheap one as my first chrono. Its the Shooting Chrony F-1 Master with the remote display.
Of course, it was dark when I got off work last night, so I couldn't play with my new toy. However, lighting was perfect this morning. Temp was 33*, and I set the chrono about 10' in front of the bench.
I had loaded 2 each of 5 different amounts of 1680 for chrono testing, but I just started with the lowest load which was 11.2gr. Seeing as how its the last day of deer season here in MO, I didn't want to shoot too many times incase any of my neighbors were waiting for that last chance at a big one.
The 11.2 gr loads yielded velocities of 1061 and 1080. I walked back inside and quickly loaded a round at 11.0gr, which had a velocity of 1026. I wasn't sure what the SOS was at that time of day, but after looking it up when I got to work, it should have been around 1088 @ 33*.
All of the rounds still had a "crack". So obviously I am sub-sonic now, and it has just been an echo that I have been hearing. Now its time to sit and wait for the paperwork to obtain a can to go through.
