[QUOTE="ilc, post: 1797572, member: 97996"] I went through the same decision making process recently, and chose the MS. I like to develop loads based on group size. Once I get a load grouping well at 100yds I'll attach the MS and chronograph five or ten shots to get a velocity, then validate drop and group size at long range (without the MS). The problem for me with the LR is its reportedly poor performance with small calibre high velocity bullets. I have a .17 and a 220 swift so the LR was out. I also do my load development at a public range, so I have shooters close by on either side and reports of false triggering of the LR are common. Being a ballistics nerd it was hard to give up the downrange information that the LR provides, however I'm not sure how useful 50 to 100 yards of info really is. Hopefully better versions will be released in the future, and when you can get a personal radar that can track 300-500 yards for a reasonable price then I'll buy one for sure. [/QUOTE]
