[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 21714, member: 25"] Brent, I have them both. The 35P is a "plug-in and play" unit - very simple, reliable and accurate with a built-in printer. The 43 is run by a computer, obviously a laptop for outdoor ranges. The 43 has many more capabilities - BUT you lose the simple plug-in and shoot info ability. The 43 will provide chamber pressure readings if you attach special "strain guages" correctly to your rifle (you must glue directly to bare metal - requires a bit of blueing removal in most cases). The 43 uses standard Skyscreens at the muzzle and offers the ability to connect to optional accoustic microphones that are essentially a large triangle that you shoot through at 100 yards. They have 100 yards of connecting cords obviously. This provides such niceties as 100 yard velocity, time of flight, BC and even a diagram of your group. If you are a basic reloader, the 35P is the ideal instrument for range use. If you like tinkering, enjoy challenges of making a more complex system operate - and feel the need for chamber-pressure info including peak pressure, Pressure Rise Time, pressure curve and area under the curve, 100 yd. velocities(or longer distances if you get the goodies) etc.then the 43 with or without accoustics is a dream-machine. 450 dollars is a good price for a 43, it lists for 600 or more, depending on accessories. Hope that this info is of value. ian [/QUOTE]
