[QUOTE="Jeff Heeg osoh, post: 1798983, member: 111250"] Gone Ballistic Well said, a great group of folks and camaraderie discussing equipment and ideas. In this thread both are superior very accurate systems used in the shooting community. I can still remember when the Magneto came out and I had a few fellow shooting friends upset that the numbers on the Magneto were not the same as what they believed in. At the end of the day it was realized that the numbers were true. For the average rifle/barrel or anything suppressed the Magneto is fast for finding speeds in different loads, old ammo versus fresh and so on. The Lab has its advantages with the big guns that have 35 to 49” barrels and the big brakes, we’ve taken a strap out already in time trying to hang it on some big brakes. The one huge advantage was with the Magneto you hardly ever missed a shot, if you did the unit was coming loose and was moving around or finally the battery was getting low. The Lab Radar caused a lot of frustration in the earlier days because of missed rounds being fired with the 375s and 416s normally you had a test sequence in powder charges and with these that was a chunk of change $$ there alone plus the time loading and scrambling to the range to shoot the test loads. We would try to position the Lab way out front of the rifle to keep it out of the blast, gasses and smoke and most of the time that worked, some not. I also ran it right beside my scope to keep it out of the blast and gasses that cause issues at times. Batteries and if you depended on using the AA batteries it eats them like candy and as soon as the level was getting a little low things got questionable. The battery charge pack I had for saving the day on a lot of stuff and supposedly it will jump start a car works great in place of the AA batteries and the option of the Quad Pod was huge for stabilizing the unit solid and getting it into clean air, that was a end to missed shots.

As mentioned Dave and a few others have made attachments now to get the Magneto off of the barrel allowing for good feedback on the speed and not affecting the harmonics as well as getting around the problem of having to attach it to the big brakes in which was challenging.
