Rifle Chronographs

[Doug Brownlee]

thanks for the POI info. I always cold bore zero. My 300wsw hits a postage stamp at 200yds. I will have to see what the 270 will bring. I first have to learn the trigger pull on the 270. My 300 is set for 3lbs while the 270 is 5.3lbs big difference.

Will the magnetospeed chronograph work with bullets of non-megnetic metals such as the copper Barnes types?

[Doug Brownlee]

the directions say there are different settings for the different alloy bullets.

Yes, i've used it with both the Cutting Edge Bullets out of my 6.5 WSM & Barnes out of a 300Win, both worked just fine. I did not have to use a different setting but they are there just in case.

Here's the one i have:

I particularly like its compact size and the fact that i can set it up near the target without fear of false readings. Thereby i can confirm bullet speeds out to extended ranges and compare against ballistic calculators.

Here's a U-tube of it in use:
