I did not have a chronograph for the first few years of my reloading career. It was not until the advent of the Shooting Chrony that I could afford such a luxury. I found that if I read and followed the reloading manual's advice and watched for signs of over pressure that I could do just fine. I still watch closely for signs of pressure, the Chrony is just for making sure that I am in the velocity range that I desire for a given load. My goals for reloaded ammunition are as follows; safety, accuracy and desired velocity; in that order.
