Nick,

Different bullet coloring can be a factor, depending on the light. Take a look at this page about the CED M2 chronograph. Scroll down about 3/4 of the way and there is a section titled, "Variables that will effect results are as follows:". Under it is a list of 11 items. 5, 6, and 10 are specific to the CED chronographs, but the rest are generally applicable to all.

The chronograph, and both diffusers were in direct sunlight (as I always configure it).

The two bullets tested were a Rainer 148gn plated DEWC; and a Speer 110gn GDHP SB. Both recorded flawlessly through my M67 4"; then promptly wouldn't read through my M60 1.875". Odd.
