[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2811142, member: 1039"] It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't get very far with the 7 mag. I'd close the bolt and it wouldn't fire. It wasn't cocked. I "figured out" that if I could pull the bolt back, move the safety to safe, then close the bolt it would shoot. I WAS NOT comfortable with that at all. The second time I tried it, the rifle was on the rear bag and front rest (forget the brand but I can raise and lower it with a wheel or by loosening the t bolt and raising / lowering the column). It's a very secure way to support a rifle at the range without buying an F class or Bench Rest sled. Anyway... I took aim, pushed the safety forward, and the rifle fired. That was the end of any testing. I put that thing back in the case. It's probably the trigger but ****... that was unnerving. Only 3 rounds into the target. The .308 testing was interrupted by the bluetooth disconnecting. Frikken annoying. The app is current. I don't know why it disconnected so much. I could not arm the LaRadar unless I used the app. I could disarm it with the button but it would not arm. Even if I turned bluetooth on my phone off. Double frikken annoying. I managed to get some data. I didn't shoot the last 9 of the series (3 shots per) because some doofus (me), probably while jacking around with the LabRadar, knocked the box of bullets over and the last three groups spilled out. I shot them in one string so I may be able to pick them out by velocity. Idk. I'm pretty sure I had some ES readings in the 10 - 15 range so I should be able move to seating depth. The range was crowded today. The red flashing light that lets shooters know the range is now safe to go check your target wasn't working. It's switch operated and various stations. That's not horrible if you have people that are regulars at the range. There was a group (that kept letting guests in) that yelled "are we good" which usually means good to go check targets... then proceeded to send rounds downrange with an AR. A couple of us jumped back up on the pad, shrugged, and waited. The range is nice to go to when there's only one or two there. If I have any decent data I'll post it up. [/QUOTE]
