[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1731013, member: 100006"] I had a Lab Radar and a Magnetospeed Sporter but I currently have and use a Magnetospeed V3. The Lab Radar was great except when the range was busy (which mine is all the time). I would have issues with shooters at the benches next to me or having the sensitivity down too far that shots got missed. In the end I sold it because it frustrated me. I had a Magnetospeed Sporter and it was fine, it did its job but it wasn't all that great and I had the Lab Radar at the time and it was kinda a toss up to which I would grab. Then I let a friend borrow it and he quickly proceeded to shoot it. He paid me what it was new in store and I took the money and bought a V3. I loved it so much that it wasn't long after I decided to ditch my Lab Radar. At first I thought I messed up because now I have something changing POI of my bullets with no alternative option but when I do load development I don't care what my velocity is until after I've found the load that groups well. My reloading process has one extra step now of velocity verification after an node has been found but I'm not going to complain about loading an extra 10 to 20 rounds for the velocity verification. My opinion (for whatever it's worth) is: Magnetospeed V3 > Lab Radar > Magnetospeed Sporter > Optical Chronograph I think Lab Radar or Magnetospeed will both serve you well. Even though the Lab Radar frustrated me to no end on some days I would much rather have that along every single range day than have to deal with optical chronographs again. Having to wait for cold ranges to address almost every issue is enough to drive anyone crazy. [/QUOTE]
