What is the distance limit in LabRadar "pinging" .264" bullet?
No issues with an LMD brake. The radar sits about 6" to the side and maybe a couple of inches to the rear so doesn't get the full blast.
The limit of pinging as I understand it depends on the size of the surface area it hits and how square it is to the radar. So flat base bullets are better than boat tails, and larger calibres are better than smaller calibres. It also depends on how well you've pointed the radar to the target. If it is slightly off you won't get the further readings. It detects in a vertical oval shape so it is less forgiving horizontally than it is vertically. I saw on a review someone using a pen on the top groove to help aim it at the target. I use this and found it works better than just eyeballing it.

For 6.5 these are my last two recorded strings. You can see it detects the flat-base 120NBT better than the boat-tail 130 Hybrids.

- Distances are in yards.
- The target is at 100yds so I've set the radar to detect at 98yds and not exactly 100. If you set the detection range exactly at the target it has difficulties detecting the bullet against the reflected surface area of the target.
Frankly, muzzle velocities are all I've been keeping. I don't have much use for down-range velocities out to 100.
