[QUOTE="littlewhaler, post: 1567183, member: 50114"] Lab Radar really improved my chrono sessions..easy set up with ability to set bullet weight, diameter, distance you want to get a reading with great accuracy. I like the MV reading and the 100 yd setting since they each have value to reload hunters. Most reload tables in reload books list the expected velocity for given powder loads and bullet which is usually a MV velocity. Important to know how you compare to book values for safe reloading and a hunter likes to know how much velocity he has at 100 yds for a given bullet and powder since it will show how much velocity loss over a given distance. This can also be compared against tables in some reload books to see if you are in the ballpark of expected values for a specific range usually out to 500 yds or more. Lab Radar enhanced my reload skills, expertise as a hunter vs what I was capable of with my beta chrony set up. I used the beta chronies for years and finally took the leap to Lab Radar. Very rewarding once I was comfortable with its capabilities. Learned it on my own, instructions very good. Also some good videos out there. Most reloaders will agree if you reload you need a chronograph to log your loads and measure performance. Lab Radar does this and more with many useful features. [/QUOTE]
