Re: Got a new cat, a Hellcat

I picked one up in March for $520 and love it. Took it to the range and was surprised at how accurate it was at 30 feet. I like the 13 round mag and the sights. They pick up quickly and in low light work great. I tried to get it to jam and could not. Its a small 9 so yep you feel the recoil, that is...

Re: Anyone use the Nosler 34 Grain HP bullet?

My 204 does best with a near max load of CFE223 under the 32 grn Nosler lead free. Every rifle is different, and you just have to find what YOURS likes. I found some of these for sale as well. I didn't know much about them as well and didn't know how well the non-lead would perform. This will prima...

Re: Opinions on handloading new brass-

To take this in a slightly different direction, I purchased some primed Fiocchi for the .204 that had the bullets pulled. The brass looks good, no marks, nice and clean and I checked neck tension with a bullet and it was tight to seat. That's not to say they are all that way. My original plan was to...

Re: New primed brass!!!

Well, they still have in stock as of today. I ordered 200 and received them promptly and noticed on the site there is a 20% discount for the Holidays so I couldn't resist and ordered another 200! When I get time to sit down and work with them, I assume I will need to take my pin out and resize to ge...

Anyone use the Nosler 34 Grain HP bullet?

https://www.rmrbullets.com/shop/bullets/rifle/204/204-34-grain-nosler-hp-shots/ I have started to determine what my Savage likes best. So far I have tried the 32 and 40 VMax. I recently picked up some Berger 35 grainers that Midway had on sale. The prices on the Noslers from RMR is pretty good and c...

Savage Model 25 Loads

I recently picked up a NIB Savage Model 25 Varminter in 204. I have loaded tons of 223 but the 204 is a new one for me. I did see the sticky on the favorite combination of powder and bullets but didn't see any with my model. With the cost of bullets these days, the closer I can get to the right comb...
