Hey guys with the Garmin chronograph. Mines been eating muzzle blast and has missed a few readings which hasn’t happened in the past. If I shake the housing real good I can hear a rattle almost like a small bb or something’s slightly loose inside. Can anybody shake theirs so I can figure out if this is normal? If you reload with bushings it sounds like shaking your sizing die and the free floating bushing inside rattle
Garmin chronograph loose insides?

We don't know that he had it 15" behind the muzzle.
OP, not that it matters, but how long have you had it?
I've been blasted by the muzzle device of those next to me many times in our monthly belly match. I am way further than 15 inches. Idk I'm also curious how it played out exactly.
Oh and I'd like to see what garmin will say and if they'll send him a pre-label to send it in.
As they should. They were designed to go 5 to 15 back and 5 to 15 to one side of a rifle. This is usually a blast zone for most braked rifles.

Chevy is an assuming a lot. I dont follow every YouTube gun tuber and I know how to follow directions on the screen before every group.
I’ve had it for nearly a year and put about 1000 rounds of 300 PRC over it sitting abeam my bipod leg every time.
Muzzle blast kept blowing it off the table.
They never mentioned breaking it, but in a future video they had it behind the muzzle. After his comment section told him to quit being dumb.
Why not put it under the rifle? Assuming the break isn't vented down to toss dust.
That makes sense, and is why I asked the question. They’re so light, and using the supplied tripod one would expect blast to knock it over before damage occurred from just the blast (ie if not enough blast to knock it over, then shouldn’t be enough blast to damage it). Of course there are many other more rigid mounting options people are using.
Wow, glad to see that the Hide has stayed true to form. Guy comes with a polite post asking a question and there is always at least one dick head to give him an arrogant ration of shit that implies he's an idiot.
@Awesymoto - No, mine do not rattle no matter how I shake it. Could be a loose screw as @Rocketvapor suggested (but, wouldn't' the screws be steel and hence a source of possible short on the board???), A piece of solder come loose, a little piece of the board broken off, or any other stuff that's in there and breakable. My view is send it back to Garmin for repair before it fucks up further (I assume its still working, right?)
