Which chronographs are capable of calculating BC

Labradar doesn't do BC. Definitely gives enough information to acquire the BC fast, a few smartphone clicks.

Labradar (the original unit) *does* do BC. The new Labradar (similar to the Garmin) does not. Garmin also does not. No longer made, but the best BC measuring tool for the consumer market was the Oehler model 43 "Personal Ballistics Lab". There was a similar product made by someone else about the time Oehler stopped selling the '43, but I don't recall the manufacturer nor do I have any experience with that one.

FX True ballistic Chronograph picks up pellets/slugs everytime.it has BC drag models for different projectiles G1 , G7 ,RA4 and GA (for air guns).
I sent Velociradar back,wouldn’t pick up pellets at all.

I also had problems with the velociradar
Plus the buttons are very hard to press

Mine doesn't and never heard of one that does, until the new LX they make added that feature, they made a big deal of the brand new feature they hadn't offered before. The LX they make is the only one that does that.

I don't know all the Labradar revisions, I got mine - big orange - from second hand last summer.... for peanutz.
The original first FX rev.2 doppler radar I was using since somewhere in 2020 (I guess), and I needed exactly this BC calculation for my new to me reloading for f-class.

Hello all
Trying to put together a list of chronographs that calculate BC
I know of the FX true ballistic and when it is released, the Caldwell velociradar, but are there any others?
i wasn't positive about the lab radar or Garmin being able to do the BC...Can they?
Thank for the help

I’ve had the big orange LabRadar for over 5 years now. It does NOT calculate BC, but does give speeds at various distances so you can plug numbers in to calculate BC on a phone or computer. The FX True Outdoors does a direct BC calculation and readout for various profiles like G1, G7, GA and RA4.

Uhm, where did I miss it I may need to apologize for confusion ?

I got my big orange last summer, use it 3x only, to feed the log data into my Strelok Pro.
Somewhere there in between the two units I am sure I have seen the calculated BC - beside a fact I have no use for BC ... I needed a dope card ... for long ranges.
