Never.

Never +1


I prefer classic.

Yes, but only once. My cord was so tangled up it wasn’t funny. I only shot it that way to see what would happen as well. If I even somewhat straighten it and still have many kinks, curls, it’s never done it. 99% of errors are it being too far from the barrel to read. I made a stand like MD’s, but had more errors so I quit using it. Also, I have to get on certain benches at the range to even use it, which doesn’t happen 75% of the time. I have found putting one of the rubber base pieces that’s goes on the bayonet on top of the barrel and run the strap over it, I get a lot less issues with it.

....

As you probably know, group size is affected by barrel harmonics. In those couple of odd cases the MagnetoSpeed favorably changed the barrel harmonics for those particular loads, which obviously isn't what you want.

Yea, kinda sad when my 6.5CM handloads are always sub 1/2" groups with the chrony attached... cry

You mean all of your handloads are not sub MOA? You need to get with the program! If it were only that easy though, I’d save a ton of time and money!
