Labradar in the heat

[muleman69]

Just wondering if direct sun and or heat affect the Labs? I have been getting duplicate velocitys with up to a .3 to .4 gr. difference in powder?

That would be, well, interesting.

I've never questioned my LR's results and I've used it in direct sunlight and temps of 100 F +. I will say that those were very unpleasant shooting days and convinced me that covered ranges are worth every penny. You're results sound suspicious, though.

3 to 4 or .3 to .4?

3 to 4 or .3 to .4?

.3 to .4 Sorry

.3 to .4 my mistake

.3 to .4 my mistake

You can easily see that much of a swing depending on the powder and swing in temperature.

Perhaps your just in a wide node I have never experienced this with my labradar

I've been on the line using my V3 with a LR next to me in 110 and the differences in velocity between the two weren't worth mentioning . Couple of FPS , shot to shot . As someone said , temperature changes in ammo as it may heat up can cause more of a change . Doesn't get much hotter than Ben Avery in August , and none of the guys here have ever mentioned this as a issue with a LR .
