Steveno: It was cloudy today and I tried it again with 45ACP loads. What do you know I had loads at the speeds I expected. I also got farther away. Maybe I was getting false readings because I was to close.
My problem I have had in the past is the speed is so slow I know they are wrong. My 1911 is not going to function at 345fps.
It seems to read lead bullets better than jacketed.
Thanks
I still want to buy a new one
