Hopefully I am not stealing @BFD's thunder here, but he got an FX...and I got to FAFO with it before he did!
At any rate, my objective was to compare it to the Magentospeed. While working up a ladder for the 90HH in a AR10/7mm-08, the following speeds were collected. The load has been posted in the appropriate thread, so this will just be velocities in fps. Hope the formatting works and is not annoying. I am not the brightest cookie in the toolshed when it comes to technology.
My, largely ignorant, philosophy major (unscientific), C+ (at best) shooter impression of this is that it is slicker than owl poop. While I am certain I did not tap into its fancier features during my brief session, it was so easy to set up that I was certain I had done something wrong or missed a step. The delta between the magneto speed and the FX was negligible, and the additional data the FX provided was very educational, at least to my mind. If I did not have the magneto speed already, I would most definitely fork over the extra coin for one of these.
