    Contemplating purchasing a Labradar.

    I have been researching and reading up on reviews of this chronograph. Ready to pull the trigger on this.

    If any one has one, what are the pros and cons you’ve encountered?

    Any tips or advice?

    Thanks.

    We got one and it is great!!
    Lots you can do with them.
    Just remember they have a speed limit. When my dad tried shooting factory 22-250 ammo, there was no reading, as they were pushing 4000 fps.
    I think the lab radar is limited to 3800-3900 fps depending on bullet size

    I've been through a number of different chronographs, including the Magnetospeed, and the Labradar is an absolute winner in my book. I won't ever go back.

    Following as I’m in need of a new chronograph. Torn between the magnetospeed for price and compactness or the Labradar for accuracy.

    To be real honest I think a consistent chrony would be nice for sd/es during load development, but everyone trues their dope to real life impact.
    So I guess consistency is important to me way more than accuracy.

    Labradar is the best I've owned. Won't go back to an optical style ever again!

    I bought a new Magnetospeed V3 and custom mount earlier this year, used it twice, sold it and got a Labradar which is much easier/faster to use.
