[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1531535, member: 4191"] My settings are 15-30-45-60-75 because I'll normally get readings to 75yds with 284 and larger caliber bullets. I think I was getting to 100yds with 338s. I've learned the unit will stop recording about 5yds past your furthest setting. So mine stops at ~80yds. The one setting that could affect this is a power setting, if I remember correctly? I've always left it set on the high power setting, but my memory thinks this is related to higher laser powering. Other than that, I can't think of anything else to be done other than good alignment with your bullet path. Maybe someone else will pipe up with something more... oh, and this... When shooting muzzle-braked rifles, do shield the LR from the concussion sideways blast. That could mess anything up, I'd guess. I drove a steel fence post in the ground and using multiple screws, screwed a scrap piece 1"x12" x 24" pine/fir to it to block side-ported muzzle blast/concussion. I kept adding screws until it stayed put. This is left in place where I shoot prone 95% of the time. There are other ways to position the muzzle, or to block muzzle brake blast. LR offers a few suggestions in their literature or on their website. [/QUOTE]
