Steve;
Thanks for the fun reading Steve, I hope this finds you well and you're staying warm enough this weekend.
I've got one of the first Chrony models to become available in the Okanagan - a gift from my wonderful wife actually. In retrospect it was a real sharp dose of reality for me - as I had so many wonderful theories and firm beliefs about muzzle velocity until the "truth teller" was put in front of the barrels.
Anyway Steve, they have the paper holder for the white plastic light diffuser panels and one fine day I most certainly did manage to put a home cast 158gr Semi Wadcutter into one of those.
The paper holders are so chewed up that I've taped them back together several times now.
Oh, something came out and bit the readout screen once too enough to put a small hole in it, but it still works. I've put a �" chunk of Lexan in front of it now to at least slow down whatever small chunks might spew forth - but have no illusion that it will stop a 200gr. Partition out of a .308 Norma or something similar.
Thanks for the chuckle tonight on this thread Steve and all the best to you this year.
Regards,
Dwayne
