"What is an ammo chronograph?"

A ballistic chronograph measures the speed of the projectile (bullet), allowing you to know how fast it is going. This is particularly useful if you handload, and are trying to achieve maximum velocity for a given bullet type. I don't actually have a chronograph myself, and I haven't loaded any ammunition for a while (besides, I was just loading so as to have inexpensive handgun practice ammo, not to push rifle bullets as fast as possible). With the current offerings at some of the large retailers, the cost benefit of reloading (vs. time) is not what it used to be, in my case, at least.

A few chronograph makers/suppliers:

Oehler Ballistic Chronographs
PACT Chronographs
Competitive Edge Dynamics (CED Millennium Chronograph)
Buffalo Arms Chronographs
Shooting Chrony
