This is the kind of data string you can get from a LabRadar.
This is automatically deposited on the SD card you put in the machine.
It's written as a .csv but can be converted to a .pdf as I have done with this one.
The gun: a 17" .445 Supermag 1/25" twist PacNor/Bullberry Encore (with S&W serial #)
The load: 305 grain Oregon Trail Trueshot WFNGC over 30 grains IMR4227
Note that this is just one shot in the string.
Long range shooters and hunters can use this information to more precisely calculate the true ballistic coefficient of their load in that gun.
(I am not really either one of those).
This was shot at an indoor range.
Notice that the SNR dropped off to almost nothing as the bullet reached the end of the range.
The Garmin looks like a neat rig and I'd get one if I could afford it but I am now fully retired and not shooting as much as I used to.
They are at the opposite ends of the microwave radar energy field.
The LabRadar uses the maximum legal power to try and bounce signal off the butt of a bullet 100 yards away while the Garmin uses the least power necessary to get a close muzzle reading.
Brute force vs. finesse.
