First chance to try the Chrony F1 since I started this thread. Tried marking the lead and was able to read five of 10 rounds. Tried jacketed .45's, "error 1" on all. Tried out to 30 feet. No help. Did not try a blast shield (forgot) but thirty feet should have eliminated that problem. .38's and 9mm worked fine.

I sent an e-mail to Chrony.
