Anyone know of a good tool to use a Magnetospeed without strapping it to the barrel? I'd think some sort of little stand to do so next to it. Probably easily built but spending 150 at Home Depot with 3-4 trips there to assemble vs simply buying something for 99.99 has little appeal to me.
Thought I'd ask if this mousetrap exists. Yes - am aware of the item that allows you to hook onto a pic rail on a chassis - not going to work as I own zero chassis.

Do a search on here or maybe MD will respond as he modified an old front rest to do such.

Dirtfarmer has posted pics of a similar set-up.

This has been brought out before. There are some platforms out there home made and commercially. Do a google search.
The only reason I do not one one is the barrel strapping.

The only reason I do not one one is the barrel strapping. I've seen accuracy degrade by strapping them on the barrel. I'm sure everyone else here has seen that as well. I watched one of the new club members fight with one at the range one day and I asked why he doesn't just use a damn regular chronograph. Then he goes on to tell me that it tells him everything he needs to know to develop his loads. IE: SD'S, ES'S etc. etc. I told him I just shoot the fuggin target to find that out... To each their own.. I then asked how long he had been hand loading. His answer: "5 months"...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Exactly. Once you introduce weight or pressure to the barrel harmonics change.

The ONLY reason to own one is for use at a public range - so you don't have to get out front to set up like with a conventional chrono with screens.
Spend the extra coin for a LabRadar.
