Truth. The real line of demarcation is between the group that only shoots one chrony and the group that shoots multiples.

I really don't want to fall into the second group. In my book, the little wire rods don't count. Neither does non-direct hits with a potato. (My chrony may have clocked multiple potatoes at 250-260 fps).

Mine got broke in with a 45 hollow point. Gotta pay attention with pistols!
Ouch, that chrony tangled with some serious lead.
Competition Electronics is a great company. Fantastic repair/replacement policy, when the need arises!

Lesson: don't forget to always put loctite on the little bolt that holds your glock front sight on......

Yup. Unfortunately, I put a 150gr FMJ through the rear half of my Beta Master when working up a load last summer. But hey, now I have spare parts.

The magnetospeed really is worth the money. So much easier than setting up an old school chrono.

This is the brass I scored, probably 200 rounds that are in the tumbler now.

blasted my Pro-Chrono to plastic smithereens over the weekend. Was so happy I finally found a reliable sub-load, wasn't thinking and did a mag-dump through the chrono, and boom! Result of 220 SMK at 1045fps - entered top right.

ThreeHundredTraveler - I've done both, if you let me count a wire strike.

But I figured out the solution - I put my Chrony on eBay yesterday.

This is great! I might have to try chronying my spuds also. I've found that dollar store aqua-net makes a pretty hot load!

i smirk any time i see a guy in a store with a can of aqua net in their cart. potato guns keep aqua net in business and on shelves of retail stores. I sure cant say i've met anyone who actually uses it as hair spray since the days of the Peggy Bundy sized haircuts :lol:
