[QUOTE="Jeff Heeg osoh, post: 1797164, member: 111250"] Some of what we noticed is for the most part the Magneto was slightly faster in comparison to the Lab Radar, we contributed that to the Magneto is tracking the speed right at the end of the barrel as the bullet leaves the crown, brake or suppressor. The Lab Radar is going to ping the bullet a little farther from the exit area of the rifle and speed being scrubbed already. Prior to raising the Lab up and over the rifle to eliminate any gasses, smoke or vibration disturbance a person at times would get questionable results and or no readings in which was frustrating with the time and money thrown away while trying to get valid feedback on test loads. Also we found it’s very important to always set the rifle to Lab Radar reference position the same especially when doing load testing with the same rifle. In our case the bi-pod legs line up with the back legs on the quad pod stand. So yes I will agree you can see a difference in speed between the two. Keeping the lab in clean air and on a solid platform will help in narrowing the band between the two. They both have their strong points but at the the end of the day these are two great pieces of equipment for the shooter to improve accuracy. Good info on the Magneto mount as well, Cheers Iamosoh JH [/QUOTE]
