[QUOTE="morcey2, post: 928215, member: 71004"] Until the bullet has actually left the barrel, everything is operating from a fixed point of reference, a.k.a., the rifle itself. If the recoil is somehow slowing the bullet a measurable amount, it's also accelerating the magnetospeed device in the opposite direction and the measured velocity should be the same. What you're asking is actually an issue (theoretically) with normal chronographs, but not with barrel-mounted ones. But, as everyone else has said, the recoil forces haven't overcome the inertia of the rifle until well after the bullet has left the barrel. And, even if that weren't the case, the rifle is moving so slowly relative to the speed of the bullet that it isn't an issue. Matt [/QUOTE]
