Well, I was looking for any excuse to do some shooting today and figured I'd shoot my new .22 Benjamin Marauder pistol (P-rod) with my FX chronograph hanging on the barrel at the same time I shot over my Caldwell Precision Chronograph.
As some may know, the new P-rod is a replacement for one that wouldn't hold air overnight. I'm still in the process of trying to seal the older one.
ANYWAY,
Here a synopsis of what I found out. The FX chrony always recorded a slower speed than the Caldwell, proportionally, it seemed. When the Caldwell reported a higher than average velocity, so did the FX and vice versa.
Here's the data:
The first table is when I shot JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo Monster 25.39 pellets. When I weighed 10 of them, they averaged 25.07 gr, not 25.39.
The numbers for the Caldwell are on the left and those for the FX are on the right.
The second table is when I shot Benjamin Discovery PCP 14.3 gr pellets. When I weighed 10 of them, they averaged 14.36 gr, not 14.3.
I don't have a clue as to which one on my chronographs is the more accurate one, I guess I'll go with the Caldwell. because the numbers make me happier.
You reckon a squirrel could tell which gun fired the pellet that hit it in the head? - probably not, dead is dead.
