Was over on another forum...There are at least 5 LabRadars for sale.
Yup Hornady uses their banded doppler derived BCs and they work great especially when using 4DOF. I have used them out to a mile.

It has a rechargeable Lithium battery that is not replaceable. Itll be interesting to see how much it will cost to get it working again when the battery dies.
Once the data is on the phone can you change the profile it is stored under?

You don't know what I know. Because you haven't ever collected the data I've collected. And used it like I've used it.
You probably still believe CFW'd barrels shed heat faster than plain steel barrels too. Because someone, somewhere, that manufactures and sells CFW barrels told you so.

Lots of places are sold out already on these. I ordered mine this morning from Scheels and it looks like they still have them in stock:

Scheels says in stock until you try to checkout then it's a no go.
It's still useful for some people. Cast bullets don't come with a BC listed. Calculating BC from 0 and 100yd velocity has proven to be accurate enough to get them on paper at 500 for me, at which point I can true MV and have a good model. If you're only shooting commercial bullets the number on the box gets you close enough to do the same thing. Unless you're using something like AB's CDMs you're not going to have an accurate BC across the whole bullet flight anyway.
It's a standard garmin dog collar battery. Open unit, remove battery, solder leads to new battery, reassemble.
Hi Jeremy.Saw this drop in my inbox this morning, didn't see any chatter over here on it.

Anyone have experience, or going grab one to try it out (and be a guinea pig)?
I have purchased one of these from Cabella's, I have not had the chance to use it yet. Initial impressions are light easy to use instructions, will do a range review as soon as I get a chance to take it out.

Interestingly enough, Bartlein just told me the other day that you need to be very careful about the rate of fire in any CF barrel. There is just no surrounding steel to sink the heat away from the core. They said they are strictly "hunting barrels".
It really depends on the fiber structure and resin used.

I have no idea but that came directly from Bartlein. Bartlein CF barrels have a thicker core than most and are a bit heavier for that reason.
