The Xero Chrono, is fantastic, size is tiny. Answer 3-5 questions about your rounds place near the barrel and you have a speed. great if you need data for adj scope at various distance, and easy to use for reload ladders. data is transfered to phone, much easier to read. info is basic.....my other orange chronograph gives speed at distance thus energy at distance so for hunters xero may need to use some math to figure out energy, but for me I will probably just use the garmin....need to test much more....I have compared readings with my orange chronograph, and results are within 5-10 fps on rounds going 2400 fps. I had one day shooting strings of ten rounds 4th round of exact same load, gave me 50fps faster speeds, barrel hot, temp change, not sure, next time I tested know loads data was where it should be.
simple. small. easy to use. must have. quickly transitioned between weapons we tested without set up hassle. move the device to the weapon, not the weapon to the device. fast reset. we shot rifles and pistols. 22LR, 5.7mm, 5.56mm, .40S&W. New to reloading and that side of shooting, but this made pursuing the science side of it accessible. good to know the affect of barrel length on velocity vs manufacturers box speed. Not the same. my AR10 .308 with 18in barrel had a 200fps difference to box speed.
I have had this product for a couple of months now. Weather hasnt been conducive to the range so I was very excited to be able to try it out. Man am I impressed. This thing is super simple to setup and go. From breaking it out of the range bag to the fully setup and ready to go was 30 seconds.
A bit of advice before your first trip to the range. Make sure you download the Garmin app on your smart phone. You don't have to have it but it makes operation more convenient. The app also lets you run firmware updates.
I would definitely purchase this product again. Worth every penny and much simpler, easier to use and compact than other competitors options.

Great tool for verifying reload data, identifying bad factory ammo and building dope charts. It is possible to shoot faster than the unit can record data would be my only complaint.
