[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1541013, member: 29632"] I bought the magnetospeed sporter a month ago hesitantly... I had read that people were successfully using with a suppressor but the mfr says it won't work, but being cheap I went ahead. I strapped it on, turned up the sensitivity and havent had an issue yet. It's picked up every shot I've fired. Federal 175 gr are reading about 75-100 fps below what's printed on the box, so I cant speak to accuracy of the unit. Never owned a chrony before, no software to check my numbers against. But I'm using for load development and it's working just fine for that. I did buy the cable to hook up to my phone and that doesn't work. Tried on 3 different phones and a tablet, none work. After that, went back and looked at reviews and that seems to be the norm not the exception so if you go that route I wouldn't waste your money on the cord. That said, I went with the sporter over the V3 because I thought I could use the cable to get everything onto my phone for quick analysis, might do it differently now I think the V3 has SD card. As it stands now I just write down the velocity after I fire, which isn't that big a deal as I'm waiting between shots anyway. [/QUOTE]
