BLT and I have were having problems with errors and failure to see shots with 2 different shooting chroneys. BLT gave me his shooting chroney and bought a new CED Millennium 2 Chronograph and still problems continued. Dillon customer service had suggested a black tarp under the chronograph but it was the CED instructions talking about "Glints" that got me thinking. A nice shiny bullet is going to reflect everything around it. If the bullet is reflecting as much light as the Sky Screens transmit, It Won't Be Seen by the Chronograph.
I glued some black velvet to 2 14x20" sheets of foam core board. I tested yesterday and out of 200+ shots I had 1 error.
22g 2400 NOE 429421 .431 4" Colt Anaconda 1494, 1493, 1499m 1505, 1493, 1499fps, ES 12fps
25g 300 MP Lyman 429421 6" S&W 629 1432, 1404, 1375, 1395, 1349, 1358fps, ES 83fps
BLT found some cardboard and black paint and soon had his CED Chronograph close to 100%.
This is the Shooting Chrony that took 2 22LR shots, so sports a new front plate.
