I haven't but I saw a youtube video which compared a traditional chronograph vs the labradar and the results jived. According to the manual, V0 is the distance of the muzzle to the unit. There is another matter which is worth considering in that it is easy to interpret what is happening in human ter...

OK - I uploaded a quick Labradar video shooting 32acp to You Tube - I may revisit it but here is the first cut: 1.4gr vv310 - a bit fast because I want to get to 800fps and see how that load fares. https://youtu.be/QyAWRcDi_xQ The backstops are 'Acreage Bullet Catches', made here in Nebraska. They a...

OK - I uploaded a quick Labradar video to You Tube - I may revisit it but here is the first cut: https://youtu.be/QyAWRcDi_xQ The backstops are 'Acreage Bullet Catches', made here in Nebraska. They are AR400 steel, very portable and very neat and I have them at 25 m/yds and 50 m/yds. I have a protot...

I understand that the serial number used to be on the upper and is now on the lower - heard the story of a guy who combined an old lower with a newer upper - and was flummoxed registering for a competition. Some shooters have rebarreled their GSPs to great effect (some came from Walther after a 2 ye...

warming up here over the next couple of days - will shoot and post brief video

An update on 32acp loads for the HP. I started off with the recipe that features here; primarily T&B 60(2) gr bullet, 1.6gr VVN310, OAL .885 and crimp .325 I have modified the recipe: OAL now 0.855. At .885 the shoulder was engaging the rifling making it impossible to eject manually and I had so...

Do you mean 'friends' like this?

(sounds Canadian to me...)

The US agent says it will work fine in the rain but is not waterproof so put a plastic bag over it. (where have I heard that before?)

Hi BE-TX - here is my ramble-answer.... From the top... Smarts reading the manual.... You can download it from here http://www.mylabradar.com/admin/incoming/20151117131553_UserManual11-Labradar-EN.pdf yup - not much to it. I personally shy away from youtube videos that start with crashing heavy/thra...

The unit is waterproof - rubber seals on the USB and SD card slots and the manufacturer is very responsive and helpful. Given the unit is sealed and if the wavelength isn't reflected by water droplets - my guess is rain is transparent to the system (otherwise radar wouldn't see planes in clouds) - w...

Looks like cnnhead and ChipEck have plunged for a Labradar http://http://mylabradar.com/ . The orange thingy is a doppler radar. I guess that a chronograph measures the time taken for a bullet to pass between two points but a Labradar measures velocity via radar so I guess it cannot be a chronograph...

.22 mag spring cured the problem over 20-30 rounds. Although one mag jammed a bit - so will stiffen the spring...

Thanks OC,

I am iterating my way through this. The Labradar chrono seems to be working very well (and v. easy to set up) Just plop it on the bench, switch on, select a new series and away you go (and all data stored on a file (with splits at your selected distances).

I will dig out a 22 spring.

Quick question.. Anyone having extraction problems with the 32acp? I switched the extractor in case it was chipped (but the replacement wasn't new). At 850fpsI do not get consistent extraction, with commercial ammo I do. Also, has anyone modified the recoil spring (ie shortened it to accommodate?) T...

Last year I was chatting with Pardini Italy, and suggested that a single stack GT would be a great idea (for me anyway) as I struggle with the size of the grip (I tried pretty much all combinations). The answer was a simple, 'we have no plans for that' I haven't tried a GT9 - apparently it has a thi...

The cases were sometimes not clearing the breech and jamming as the bolt slid forward. I swapped the ejector and spring (no change) but fired some commercial ammo and the cases ping out, so I will chrono the rounds and step up the charge until (hopefully) the cases eject reliably. I was wary of the ...

Chambers OK now (a gnats of the shoulder protruding) and backed off the crimp to .333(ish) 1.6gr vv310: accurate but does not reliably extract. I ran the combo through quickload and I have loads of headroom - will run a few series with hotter loads

Hmmmm... The problem with the bullet engaging the rifling would be that it is impossible to easily unload. So if you are on the line or at a range when a cease-fire is called (all unload, make safe, insert eci and stand back) - the only way to unload is to force the (loaded and primed) case back (le...

Before you read this, I have a bit of a disclaimer... some or all of this may be wrong - I don't think it is too far from the truth but my journey is continuing. Ah - I have been noodling that... Depending on your bullet - you may have some latitude for OAL with RN as the bullet sports an elegant pr...

There is a potential problem to be aware of: As 32acp cartridges get shorter, they can move laterally in the magazine and as they have a semi-rim they can become 'rim locked' when a lower cartidge jumps ahead of the upper cartridge's rim, locking it in place. This can be solved by making the mag int...
