    Magneto Speed V3

    Bit of a basic review on the new V3.

    I got sick of my standard optical chronys being light and wind fickle and generally a pain in the ass to set up and operate as intended.

    I liked the idea of the new superchrono but they did not review that well by my reckoning.

    However I heard a lot of good things about the Magneto speed V1 and V2. I started to look into them and noticed the new V3. Reviewed nicely so I was sold.
    I ordered one from Sinclair after selling my CED2 which was one of the better optical ones I have owned.
    I was pretty happy with cost and what eventually showed up.


    Used it the first time this evening to work up a load for my .260 AI.
    It honestly was incredibly simple and quick, to setup and use. On both my .260 and .223 barrels.




    I did a partial ladder test and found a usable node. I drove home and loaded up a few more to confirm everything.
    Not much more to say other than velocities were as predicted and the V3 did not miss a beat.
    First is a string from the .260 and following that, one from the .223.





    Pretty happy with this unit. Trouble free first time out and no light issues to ever worry about.
    Highly recommended one for any serious reloader and shooter.
    Best of all, I finally got the 130 swift to shoot in my barrel, after a lot of mucking around it shot mint😆
