[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1211946, member: 4191"] [b]Re: Magnetospeed - A Compendium[/b] Setting things straight is a bit of an overstatement. I've never owned or used a magnetospeed because I knew it could alter both precision (group size) and accuracy (point of bullet impact). I also knew it would affect different rifles and different barrels differently. Which is why some folks swear it has no influence and others swear you can't use it while developing loads. I like to develop loads collecting MV data so I still use the old-fashioned light sensing chronographs, albeit a triplicate set of chronographs. The additional collection of MV data during load development allows me to confirm ES/SD and pressure during load development. I automatically discontinue effort with any load when I'm seeing unacceptable ES/SD, no matter the precision of that load. The ease of use of the magnetospeed is very appealing. But not so appealing that I've purchased one. I think they're getting the bugs worked out of the Labradar unit, and I'd probably spend the additional money on one of those, over the magnetospeed. But I'm not headed in that direction either. Old fart stuck in my ways, I suppose. That, and I don't shoot so much that setting up my light sensing chronographs is that huge of a hassle.
