I've wanted to pick one of these up for a while to find ammo speeds out of different guns and barrel lengths. It seems to work pretty good. I tested it with 9mm, 5.56, 10mm, .22wmr, 7.62x39.

Thank you ma'am! You gals have way more attention span than the dudes! 😂

Mine arrived today. Looking forward to learning the velocities for my 18” SPR AR15 so I can build my DOPE chart. Start ringing steal past 600 yards.

@BirdWhisperer46 3 года назад

Ordered mine yesterday, should be here Friday. Great video taught me a lot I didn't know.

@ToolsandTargets 3 года назад

Thank you sir. I have used the phone app since this video and it actually even has voice that reads out each shot in real time for you. Great chrono.👍

@galenjeffryes7766 9 месяцев назад

Just ordered the DLX to up my game for my reloads based on this and a few other reviews. Lots of great content for the DLX here and much appreciated. I'll be back for more reviews.

@ToolsandTargets 9 месяцев назад

Great chrono. One thing I can highly recommend after using it for multiple testing and in different conditions is the add-on IR light kit. It's marketed as an indoor lighting solution, but it works wonders for cloudy, overcast, or even just weird lighting angles and shadows outdoors. Got rid of any errors I would get from lighting conditions.😎👍 amzn.to/49TFV6B

@galenjeffryes7766 9 месяцев назад

Sounds like more good info. I'll check into it. Thanks again.@@ToolsandTargets

Good video, pretty nice chronograph. At first I thought you were gonna shoot it down, because you backed off a bit, but you know your stuff pretty well.

@ToolsandTargets 3 года назад

Thank you sir. I was a little nervous a few times, especially with that Barkeep. I might get real brave and stick it out at about 100 yards to see what kind of velocity something like a 5.56 or .308 is still carrying out that far. 😆

@HamiltonOutdoors 3 года назад

Nice Chrono, always thought I would like to have one of those. Great video.

Midway USA has the DLX on sale for $116.99. I'm looking at reviews before dropping the dime on it. Nice video. Thanks man.

@ToolsandTargets 3 года назад

I absolutely love it. I've used the app on my phone with it since this video and it works perfect. Even calls out the shots in real time audio on your phone.👍

@jeff7160 7 месяцев назад

It may be boring to some who are not concerned with being accurate! For those who are looking to be more accurate, knowing this data to add to your ballistic calculations is essential! As you can see, the ammo box is not always accurate with your gun. This device gives you the real data.

@Jeff_Seely 2 года назад

Tools and targets: who could want more? I'm checking out this little chronograph and to have heard that it is quite a good unit for the price. Thanks for the product showcase!

@SCSlimBoiseID 3 года назад

The ProChrono DLX tends to give errors now and then, like it doesn't "see" the shot or something. Still, it's a good and useful tool for handloaders and factory ammo shooters alike. I have one and it's been quite useful in helping me settle on ammo recipes that deliver the best accuracy/velocity mix that I'm looking for. Nice video. Cheers.

@ToolsandTargets 3 года назад

Thanks. It's definitely a great tool to have for this hobby of ours.👍

@19cohiba75 3 года назад

Had one but for some reason it got in the way of a projectile, now I’m looking for a new one.

@ToolsandTargets 3 года назад

😂 I was pretty worried shooting that little barkeep. I wanna try with a shotgun too but kinda worried about the wad flying off from the pellet spread and smacking into it. They make a little clear debris shield I might get for it before I try.

@@ToolsandTargets I have to do the math figuring with mine. And that gets old. Didn’t do enough research when I purchased it 9 years ago. Thanks for the reply back.

@daviddraper476 Год назад

Good video. I reload shot shells. Was looking at reviews. This one gets more positive reviews than the Caldwell. 🤷🏻‍♂️ From actual users. But Caldwell gets top reviews from magazines and sponsored tubers. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ll try out this pro chrono.

@ToolsandTargets Год назад

This has been a fantastic buy. Come to think of it, I don't believe I've ever seen a ProChrono sponsored vid, but I definitely see plenty from Caldwell.

@oldschooljack3479 2 года назад

Most of the velocities you see printed on rifle ammo boxes are derived from 24" barrels... Published pistol velocities depend on the caliber. Barrel length on an AR is pretty important to velocity... AR pistols, SBR's, carbines... (anything with a barrel under 24") is going to show a significantly lower muzzle velocity than what the mfr printed on the box.

Another great vid, I need one of these, just picked up a riverar AR 556 at "the local rural king" lol

@ToolsandTargets 3 года назад

Thank you sir! It should be a fun toy to do some tests with. I was in my RK a few days ago and picked up another little Heritage. They had a ton of the Ruger AR556's in there. That's actually the only AR I own that I didn't build myself. I have about 4000 rounds through it and not a single problem. 😎

@bjburton5931 3 года назад

That's good to know, Iv always liked ruger, I haven't shot it yet though, only got 1 box of 20 Winchester. 223 silver tip because it was 30 bucks but ordered 100 rds online. You see the new ruger 9mm just came out?

Yea that's it, the Max 9, I would like to have one, but between the fact that I like to carry my 1911 that Iv done some work to, and just buying a ruger AR, I don't think my wife would be to happy with me...😁, Maybe by my B Day lol

Hi Tools I forgot you did a video on the ProChrono DLX. I see it in all your videos. I am thinking about getting one of these to check speeds as well. So 2 things #1 I know you really like it but do you have any issues with it? #2 What do you have the ProChrono mounted on? As always thanks for the great video content. Be safe. 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍

@ToolsandTargets Год назад

The only issues you'll have is if you have some weird lighting or bad shadows or if you don't shoot straight across the sensors. I think it's the best option without spending a fortune on a doppler or magneto style setup.

I have an idea for your Chrono. Test your three Heritage revolvers with it using the same ammo to see if there's a difference between them as far as FPS goes between the different barrel lengths.

@ToolsandTargets 3 года назад

Man, you're reading my mind! I'm definitely gonna do a video on that.😎

I haven’t tried mine yet. I’ll probably stand 10 feet in front of it or there is a good chance I’ll end up shooting the unit.

@ToolsandTargets 3 года назад

LOL, I was a little worried about that with the little short barreled barkeep for sure. I wanna try some shotgun shells but I'm afraid the wad may separate from the shot load and smack into it. They make a clear shield to go over it I might get before I try shotgun.

@ToolsandTargets 2 года назад

I had one quit on me but I returned it under warranty. The replacement has been running great ever since then. It runs anywhere from $120 to $140 depending on where you buy it. If you don't need the Bluetooth feature, you can get the basic model for about $20 less.👍
