There is also a different version on offer from MagneetoSpeed, called the ‘Sporter’ model. This model does not include as many mounting options and is a trimmed down version of the V3. We have previously used the Sporter, so it was good to have the V3 to compare the models. What’s in the Box Clamps such as the QD throw lever or a Picatinny rail clamps are sold separately (Any Atlas style clamp is compatible) The entry-level or casual tier Magnetrospeed, the Sporter model is perfect for hunters, casual reloaders, or people just starting out. The MagnetoSpeed V3 ballistic chronograph kit was designed to be used on barrels and suppressors from 1/2 inch all the way up to 2 inches in diameter. In addition to the larger diameter tolerance, the V3 also has one inch more clearance in the blast zone to account for longer (up to 3″ in most cases) muzzle brakes, flash hiders, etc.

To get the most out of your precision rifle, you need an understanding of what your projectile is going to do once it leaves the barrel of the firearm. This is where a chronograph comes into play. Precision shooters need Data of Previous Experience (DOPE) to know exactly how to reach out and hit steel. The chronograph provides an essential part of that data, the velocity of the projectile when leaving the muzzle of the firearm.We’ve made substantial improvements to our very popular Magnetospeed Mount for better performance with long barrels and suppressors. Beefier construction, larger hardware, and a 5/8” rod rather than 3/8” provide a sturdier experience, particularly with the bayonet set further from the mount.

Designed and manufactured in the US, the V3 is a barrel mounted chronograph that uses electromagnetic sensors to determine the velocity of a projectile leaving a rifle barrel when fired. The benefits of a barrel mounted chronograph mean that it’s easy to get an accurate reading of muzzle velocity without the hassle of setting up tripod measuring systems or placing devices down range. The MagnetoSpeed V3 ballistic chronograph kit was designed to be used on barrels and suppressors from 1/2 inch all the way up to 2 inches in diameter. In addition to the larger diameter tolerance, the V3 also has one inch more clearance in the blast zone to account for longer (up to 3.5" in most cases) muzzle brakes, flash hiders, etc. If you do not wish to do this, or your manual does not have the nescessary data for your needs, you can visit our Reloading Data Section for manufacturer advice. The MagnetoSpeed V3 ballistic chronograph kit was designed to be used on barrels and suppressors from 1/2 inch all the way up to 2 inches in diameter. In addition to the larger diameter tolerance, the V3 also has one inch more clearance in the blast zone to account for longer (up to 3" in most cases) muzzle brakes, flash hiders, etc.Having used it for the past 4 years, I've come to love this chrono after having owned several other models not featured here. To be honest, I've never tried a MagnetoSpeed. While I have looked at them, I never liked the fact that you have to attach something directly to the barrel. If you're like me and shoot a lot of rounds, particularly during load development, I would think you could start melting things to the barrel... but not on my rifles! Plus how does a magnetic sensor work for a pistol? I mean really, it’s a fairly niche case that you need hard data on the exact speed of your bullets. Alignment Rod – The MagnetoSpeed V3 comes with a guide rod used to make sure the path of the projectile leaving the muzzle wont accidentally hit the chronograph on the way out. How does it work? The bayonet has two magnetic sensors that read the bullet as it passes over them. The data is then displayed on the control unit.

The MagnetoSpeed Sporter chronograph was designed to be used on barrels from 1/2 inch up to 1 inch in diameter. In can also accommodate muzzle brakes and flash hiders up to 2.7 inches in length. Ideal for contoured rifle barrels (sporter barrels) and long-barrelled revolvers.The list goes on. But basically, it’s an advanced user kind of thing. But don’t let that scare you — they’re actually easier to get into than you might think. Best Shooting Chronograph If you want a more sure way of triggering it, you’ll need an external mic. And the only one that works is the one Labradar sells. How convenient.
