Are chronos mainly for shooters making major? Or are they a good idea for anybody reloading? I'm starting to reload 9mm, and looking at different book loads, the ones i would use are right around 130 PF. Is being able to chrono and verify my loads something that i should do, or is it not necessary for minor?

If you don't chrono, how do you know what PF you are shooting? Major or minor you better know your loads. If you dont make minor, you dont get a score for the match.

If you plan on shooting all the way down to 130pf (within 5pf of the floor), then you'd better chrono.

Well I purchased a Pro Chrono Digital and tested some loads last weekend, and I now see the benefit and can't live without it.
