I’m glad I went with the 7 PRC over the 7 RM. I was back and forth between the two. I’m pushing 162 ELDX at 3130 fps out of a Defiance action and a 22” Proof Research barrel, using H1000 71.5 gr, with zero pressure signs.
Will you being doing a comparsion with the Caldwell Velociradar in the mix? How did you like the screen display brightness? I found the Garmin needed to start where their top brightness level ended and more adjustment. I shoot the Remington 7mm Magnum with 154 grain Hornady spire point for years with IMR 4831, in which I believe with manual showing about 2800 fps with the load listed (no chronograph). This has been a proven load for deer out to 250 yards, using my ‘Shepard Scope’ (has drop reticle build into the cross hairs), not that I like shooting that far of distance. However it was what it was on that day! Thanks for the review, where you located? Best to you!
Thanks mate. I don’t have any one with the Caldwell chronograph so I don’t see it happening any time soon. The Garmin has been very good with its digital display in the condition I have used it I did play with the brightness last night when a did a software update. I also do a software update on the Labradar lx. I will doing more research on these units these coming week. So stay tuned I believe the Labradar will have advanced. Also I’m from Australia 🇦🇺
@ Thanks for the reply, I will wait for that upcoming video drop. Yes, the Caldwell just dropped for actual purchase (USA) after many months of showing off the device. Much bigger than either Garmin or Labradar. However, it used CHIRP radar VS Doppler radar the other two chronographs. It also includes a ‘Recoil Trigger’ attachment to the firearm, verses audio report to activate the device. Any of them is an advantage then to having the device with sky screens for measuring FPS of the projectile down range where you could destroy it with one missed placed shot..

Garmin looks to be around 5fps higher. Looks like the Garmin is oinking down more. Should try and keep them at a level position. What’s the cost difference. Haven’t gotten to the end yet.
Mate.. not much effort into really doing a thorough test. Garmin has some of your ground sheet blocking it, it doesnt even look like they facing perfectly square to the barrel and garmin is almost too far from barrel... its almost at max distance. Why didn't you put them on either side, perfectly equal?

Good vid mate, subbed, cheers Yogi ✌️🇦🇺
👍 thanks yogi
Apparently, 3 or 4 years of R & D trying to get it right. Looks like a winner. And still made in Canada..
There will be continued usage of this lx Labrador and I will post results as I have more information from using the device

Nice one mate 👍 you e got a nice speed node around 66 gr and 67 gr
Not bad

The Garmin looks to be easier to read.
The velocity difference is less than what 5 shots of the same ammo would do. So negligable.
Or Labrador is 5fps slow
@@richmccullough9137 Labradar probably measures farther away from the gun, depending on the way it is adjusted in settings.
@Nitro-SmK don't have that problem with my garmin. Never used Labradar. Have magnetospeed and compared the 2 both with in 2fps
Mate, like your videos. Where could I get a copy of the target you were using? Thanks again
I can email it to you if you like
they didnt evolve their first product til Garmin came out, they abandoned their customers so we are abandoning them
They well deserve it, overpriced and think everybody has it buy it.
