I just found another condition that apparently causes the LR to "not track" bullets. Hope it's also your problem.
Short version: If concussive blast or similar causes the LR to shake, the more violent the shake it seems the less likely it is to pick up a bullet's flight.
What happened:
- Firing 30-06 27" barrel with muzzle break from a bench using a rest/rear bag
- Muzzle extended about 10" beyond the end of the bench.
- LR on it's bench mount with half the bench mount also extending off the bench so that the LR unit was right on the end of the bench. Secured with a c-clamp to the bench. The left side of the LR was about 8" from the right side of my barrel.
The LR missed 4 or 5 straight shots no matter how I adjusted the parameters. I finally noticed the LR was shaking with each shot.
I pulled the rifle and the LR further back on the bench so that the LR had all 4 of the mount's feet on the bench. Then moved the LR further away from the rifle, now 12".
The LR didn't shake and it recorded every shot thereafter.
