Show of hands, be honest!

The good news... it still works, just have to take it apart and fit the shell back together correctly, and add a little duct tape.

Not yet I haven't! But then I don't own a crono.

I’m in the same boat as Carver!

My bestest shooti' buddy once let a feller at the range try a shot with a .45ACP through his chrony. Yep, he shot THROUGH the chrony! OUCH!
He replaced a part inside and got it working again, missed the critical circuitry. He still uses it, with the big hole in the box.

No but probably because I don't own one. I did prop across the bed of my pickup and put a hole in the top of the bed with an 8 MM Mauser. The weird thing is it went in the top but didn't come out the side. You'd think an 8 MM would just blow on through from a couple of feet away but it followed the curve of the bed and didn't come out the bottom either. It's still rattling around in there somewhere.

When I killed my Chrony I was shooting that Pedersoli Rolling Block I mentioned in a previous post. I'd had chamber cut for the 45-120-3 1/4 and was checking a load, 110 grs. of GOEX Ctg. under a 520 gr. Lyman bullet. I KNEW I was getting close to the bottom of the rods/top of the Chrony but was obviously pretty certain I was still clear. When yellow metal and plastic parts came falling from the sky I "figgered I figgered wrong". I am much more careful with my Pact and have had it....a long time.

I've only had one chronograph until recently. Pacy MK III timer. Never shot it. I read all the stories about guy's shooting their's and make's me extra cautious. New one I just got is a Magnetospeed. Can't see how this one could be shot? I have never used my Pact while working up loads, only after I got a load I wanted and then was concerned with velocity. Oh, and I've never shot a handgun through it either.
