I am new to the reloading game and have learned a ton from all the guys on this forum who share their many years of experience. Using the info I have gained here I have made hand loads that make my .204 shoot better than I thought was possibly with a factory gun (or someone with my skills for that ...

ray - Had this problem on some Remington .204 brass. In my situation it had nothing to do with pressure. The groove in the case for the extractor wasn't cut to allow for the case to fit in a shell holder. May want to check that ...........

no clue...Rick

Possibly to 'not' limit the suitable guns it can be chambered in. ie Contender.

WP: The only real way to have that measurement have any meaning, would be to measure just above the web of a fired factory case, and compare it to one of your working handloads. Is this what you are referring to? As using an unfired case that has not been exposed to the pressure of firing, doesn't ...

Great....the 204 Ruger Hunting forum's own prairie dog soap opera. Well...the 99 cent question....will group sizes decrease in factory barrels if turning the necks? My opinion no My history with case neck turning I only do it for two reasons 1. Custom chambered rifles that you know exactly what the...

For sheer fun and excellent practice shooting in hunting situations, shooting jack rabbits that are in high concentrations in deep heavy crusted snow is top of the line. Going this weekend to shoot up a bunch more and it doesn't get much more fun with a rifle. Everything is offhand at ranges from 15...

Has anybody shot for groups off the bench with shooting sticks or on the bench with only a front rest? I did and my groups went from about .500" to just over 1" @ 100 yards. I always see groups shot off bags but none under hunting conditions. :chin: Anyone care to share some? You can't ta...

this one is much more common in size and weighs a mere 22 lb. right on.

For reference I am 6'5"

The coyote in this picture weighs 39 lbs. 14 oz.

My new "one hole load".

I load one bullet in one case and shoot it once.

Makes one hole every single time, all day, you can cover it with a dime, blah blah blah.

On the internet they get to be well over 80 lbs.

In reality they seldom get to 50 lbs. and rarely over 40 lbs.

Most of the ones I see here in CO go between 20-25

I have a regular loading bench with two presses mounted on it but for comfort and convienience I built this stand w/adapters to be able to set up a press anywhere. http://www.hunt101.com/img/446675.JPG this happens to be a RCS press but will accommodate a JR2, JR5, RC and this press.......probably a...

Welcome Wyo....my neighbor to the north. We get a few of your "grasseaters" down this way but not in the volume you all have up there. Don't forget to share the wealth.

glen - it takes me a while to find my way. Besides I am getting a brain cramp from loading ammo every night for the last week or so. I have to have several hundred ready to go by mid May..........guys working at Hornady are working overtime to keep up. I got their .204, .224, .243 Vmax lines backed ...

New guy here second post. My son and I shoot TC carbines in .204 Ruger among other things. Both very accurate guns .......... Just got started using them back in February and spent four days shooting pds in March. We load all our own (when you can find brass) and have only worked with 32gr. bullets ...
