[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1797072, member: 100006"] I've had all three of the popular chronographs (MS Sporter, MS V3, and a LabRadar). I started with a LabRadar and 3/4 of the time I loved it but I had problems when other shooters were at the benches next to me and getting interference with their bullets occasionally. Then I acquired a MS Sporter which I liked for how simple it was but I didn't have a phone that MS supported so I was stuck with using their display with minimal information and it left me wanting more. I lent my MS Sporter out to a buddy who proceeded to shoot it on his first attempt. He paid me back what it was new in store and I took the money and bought a MS V3. I have to say, the V3 was nicer to use than the Sporter. Having the ability to store multiple strings and have all the information in front of me real time was great and not have to worry about interference for other shooters. I kept the LabRadar for a while but eventually sold it to fund a Manners stock when I realized I never used it anymore. Personally I'm a huge fan of the MS V3. Really it's only drawback is that I can't use it to capture velocity AND get ballistic drop data at the same time because it will affect your POA. My hands loads are accurate enough though that this doesn't matter, once I have an accurate load I chronograph 25 shots to get a good sample of velocity data and usually only bring it back out when I reload with a different run of powder. From what you've described I think you could get by with a Sporter but the V3 is really where it's at but I'm a buy-once-cry-once kinda guy (although apparently not in this instance). [/QUOTE]
