I ran in to cabelas today and decided to get one, I cant wait to try this out with my hand loads and see what there really doing.

Let us know how it works. I have one I bought from Cabelas online a few weeks ago, but haven't tried it yet. I got it mostly for archery, but I thought I'd put a few rounds from various calibers through it and see how the numbers match up to those posted on various internet sites.

I did a quick litte test this morning with my marlin .22LR and my old winchester .22 short in my back yard theres about 50 FPS diffrance on the factory loads on my .22, one .22 short was almost 100 FPS low that one was only around 630 FPS the others were right around spec of 710 some as high as 730, the .22 LR was around 1300 FPS, when I load up my next load of .223 ill head to the range with it, I dont shoot my AR in my back yard unless theres a groundhog back there. no one out here complains about the noise but I dont want to push the issue.

Cool! That looks right like the one I got a while back. They're pretty neat, and depending on how intent you are on fine tuning your hand loads, you could use the data from that chrony to enter into some ballistics software, and if you know the ballistic coefficient and some other numbers like that, theoretically you would be able to calculate a trajectory for your ammo.
