[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1184102, member: 2460"] I use the Magnetospeed and it's an awesome device, a huge improvement over the sky screen shoot between v poles Chrony's of yesterday, All those errors and false velocity issues have vanished and I don't miss either of my Gamma Master Chrony's ...... I love the fact that I can use my Magnetospeed in total darkness and get accurate velocity readings, have been doing that all winter, just use the flashlight from my cordless power tool set to illuminate the targets and shoot all night, after work load development at 100 yards no longer requires daylight ! the only issue I have with the Magnetospeed is the mounting system with all the spacers and stuff can be a drag to keep snug on the barrel and if not checked after every other shot can get loose and causes a blank no velocity reading on the next shot, kinda irritating when working up loads for 3 shot averages for powder weight and missing a velocity reading , the barrel mounting system needs to be redesigned and simplified , I carry a roll of electicians tape and wrap a few rounds to keep the sucker on, if shooting multiple rifles (which I normally do while barrel is cooling) it gets old quick having to move, switch spacers, re adjust and retape to every barrel or face the risk of a blank reading , the Lab Radar looks to solve that minor problem but need to input bullet data for every switch and if forgotten will create incorrect readings, alway something ! Maybe just get two more Magnetospeed units instead of one Lab Radar for same cost and solve my dilemma, the ability to set up and shoot 3 rifles without messing around is definately appealing [/QUOTE]
