LabRadar
Mini-Mauser 20" Hart sporter barrel
PPU cases, LR primers (CCI)
Sierra 120 HPBT
WW-748 = 28gr
I weighted 3 and just dumped the rest with the RCBS measure

This was while I was setting up the labradar. 100 yards



A few notes about the Labradar.
The tripod mounts the LR too high.
The power supply has to be unplugged and plugged back in every time you power down/up the LR.
I'll have to play with the settings with the remote trigger.
Used a rubber band to hold the trigger.


Having said that. I really liked it over the Magnetospeed or a skyscreen model.

Here's a pic with the Rem Creedmoor. Public range.

Looks like a source for range brass.

LOL! I was gonna say the same thing. Roll over it with a magnet and grab all that steel case stuff for the recycle man!

Back to the topic at hand; I'm glad to see your practical opinion of the LabRadar. It's clearly an excellent piece of kit, and the fact you don't have to line anything up or go down range is always a plus. The biggest drag I have when shooting through a skyscreen model is changing shot strings. It got to a point where I just run all the shots, number them, and figure out the stats at home later.

I call the guy that runs the place a "Range slum lord".

They did harvest the sand for bullets (lead) and invested a little back into 50+ new benches.

My buddy has a skyscreen type that has a bluetooth app. You set up the bullet,caliber, etc.. then shoot away. Then set up again for the next caliber, etc..

I've never has to unplug the power supply (external rechargeable battery)after powering done to power up. Sound like yours has a glitch.

I use XBR 8208 and load it with Nosler Ballistic Tips. Fun little gun in a Howa mini.

I haven’t had to unplug the power supply either.

Sounds like something isn’t right.
