[QUOTE="just_jon, post: 2022680, member: 112153"] I’ve owned four inexpensive optical chronographs each costing less than $125 over the years. I shot one (didn’t account for the muzzleloader sabot), my buddy shot one and the other two decided not to power up during the same range session. Nothing against the Magneto-speed as I‘ve never used one, but I have enough things going through my head at the range and didn’t want to add POI shift to the equation. Not to mention having to remember to re-zero back to my desired POI before leaving the range. In evaluating my next purchase, I took note that Labradars outnumber all other chronographs brands combined by a 4 to 1 margin at my range. I took the plunge about three months ago and am glad I did, even though data management is far from perfect. For example, my $125 Comp Elec Pro Chrono DLX allowed me to name the series (cartridge, bullet type, weight, powder, charge weight, etc). It also automatically charted each shot in a series which I found convenient when shooting ladder tests. I can do all of these things when I get back to my PC, but it can be a PITA. [/QUOTE]
