[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 1044071, member: 7848"] The Applied Ballistics Laboratory recently performed a comprehensive review of chronograph performance. This review is published in the book "Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting". You can read the full chapter on chronograph testing here: [url]http://appliedballisticsllc.com/Articles/ChronographChapter.pdf[/url] Based on our testing of available chronographs, we've decided to become a dealer of the Magnetospeed: [url=http://store.appliedballisticsllc.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=4000]Magnetospeed V3 Ballistic Chronograph in Hard Case[/url] Knowing your true Muzzle Velocity is very important to accurate load development and trajectory prediction. We're impressed with both the accuracy and ease of use of the MagnetoSpeed unit. Here's one short excerpt from the above link: [I]"The MagnetoSpeed takes the prize for the modern advancement in chronograph technology. The instrument isn’t necessarily more accurate than the older Oehler units, but the use of electromagnetic sensors provides comparable accuracy and precision in a very different package which is easier to use. The accuracy and precision performance of the MagnetoSpeed combined with its ease of set-up and use are good examples of modern technology being put to good use in ballistics instrumentation. The MagnetoSpeed is gaining popularity in many applications including military snipers who need a small instrument they can deploy with and check velocities of different lots of issued ammo without setting up large instruments. The potential effect on barrel harmonics was a big concern of mine initially, but it just hasn’t been a real issue for the kinds of rifles and testing I’ve done with it."[/I] -Bryan [/QUOTE]
