Re: Coyote hunting with the .204...

My hunting partners and I shoot 30 to 40 coyotes a year. Most with the .204 cartridge. The only issue you may run into using any of the 32 gr poly tipped bullets is a "splash" on shoulders. A splash occurs when the bullet "blows up" before penetrating adequately. This will cause ...

Re: 35 gr bergers OR 40 gr hornady v-max

race: I feel their pain.... The bad news is that it's a common problem. The good news is that it's easily fixed. After struggling with the same thing in my M93, I simply took a pair of pliers and bent the upper lip of the clip inward slightly and....problem solved. It took very little to stop the pr...
