300WSM,
I saw similar damage back in the pistol days. We were shooting on Century and using a Workmate and a block to rest the gun Butt on. Then up comes a new lad in the club and rests the barrel on the block. That was low enough to send a bullet from a 357 through the works.
I bought one a few years later and a friend managed to shoot through two of the wires that hold the sun shade, once again on Century. There was quite a bit of laughter at the time as he was present when the first incident happened.
My comment was "You have just become a member of a very exclusive club".
He flatly refuses to go near the chrono now.
