When my brother got his cheap Chrony, I was able to get readings: both powders were really consistent between shots, but the Goex loads were in the 1100 fps range and the Swiss were a little over 1300.
Buffalo Arms sells the Swiss. They are in Sandpoint ID, so I pick up powder there when I'm visiting family. They have a good price on lead too.
