[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1877483, member: 2736"] This set up at the range is one of the main reasons I looked at the magneto speed in the first place. At our range we are not allowed any where near the front of any muzzle and to set up a chronograph we would have to stop dozens of people from shooting and make the line safe. The other thing that attracted me to the Magneto speed was the lack of daylight needed to work. It will even work In near darkness if you are not finished testing. Other than the cost, I think the lab Radar would function the same and be usable under our range rules, so other than cost, they should do the same job. As to the effect of having something attached to the barrel, I don't test the zero with anything attached to any barrel even tho I have not seen/noticed this in my testing, mainly because when working up loads, I am more interested in the SD's and ES's and velocities. once I find good numbers and am satisfied, I remove the MS and zero the rifle and finish the testing for accuracy at the different distances. This way I can rule out poor loads early and save load components to get the accuracy. As to the brake issue, I have tested many rifles with different designs for effects on The Magneto Speed and found no difference in performance. the only down side that I have noticed is dripping the bore solvent on the bayonet while cleaning and a rage draped over it will solve this. I also like the advantage of not having to move the Screens to shoot different targets. It is a good tool and like everything it has its shortcomings, but not many. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
