[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 2022403, member: 105459"] [I]I currently use the Magneto-Speed V3 Chronograph. [B]It sets up fairly easy and is very reliable. It is as easy to set set as plugging in a double ended cable, after you have attached your sensor to the barrel.[/B] You can use it in any weather (Sunshine or Shade) without setting up diffuser panels 10' down range. Some brands of chronographs must be set up at say 10' downrange. This evolves the additional expense of a tripod. Then you must attach a telephone cable in order to have the readout on your shooting bench if you have a chronograph that supports this, otherwise you must look down range and see if the readout is visible Oh Yeah all less expensive units If used in bright sun require the use of the diffuser panels or you will not get a readout. Nothing will prevent a unit such as the Magneto -Speed from performing. Neither sunlight, nor shade or even dusk will prevent it from doing what is required . I could go on suffice to say the Magneto- Speed line of Chronographs ( V3 & Sporter) are proven performers without breaking the bank as you really do not need to spend money on additional accessories. In all fairness the Magneto Speed can in some instances play with you barrels harmonics. However in my opinion it is not so much of a issue unless you are shooting for precision and have already established your lowest ED & SD numbers and are done with your load development stages. In that case I would simply remove the sensor as your chronograph has already done its job. The problem with Lab Radar is the additional costs incurred for the accessories needed for bench rest shooting(i.e.: stands etc.) [B]Hope this helps you out with you decision making![/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
