[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1171731, member: 50867"] 1. I own(ed) two Magnetospeed chronographs (V2 and Sporter) 2. If you want to spend $380 mopre for the LabRader to avoid setup then nothing I say will change your mind. 3. The Magnetospeed will definately affect where you print on target, compared to your shot group that develops without it. That's to be expected because anything attached to your barrel will do the same thing. However, while the group may print somewhat wider or higher with the Magnetospeed in place than it might with it removed, in my experience the group size maintains its integrity. Furthermore, the chronograph (any chronograph) is designed to register muzzle velocity ONLY. It is not designed to support accuracy. Get the load working, then check the velocity data. Or, if you'd prefer, get the velocity data then tweak the load for best on target performance. 4. I initially purchased the Magnetospeed V2. Nice features, cute little carrying case. Worked perfectly. But I found all I really needed was what's included in the Magnetospeed Sporter package. A mere $180 and I've got money to spend on other nice reloading stuff. I gave the V2 to my son. gun) - - - - - - - - (X) [/QUOTE]
