Re: 40 grain Nosler BT's in a Savage LRPV - headaches

Have you tried different seating lengths? Sometimes 204's just like to jump a little.

Savage 12 VLP Stock for Sale

My friend bought a 12VLP and wants a thumbhole stock but couldn't wait for the BTCSS to come out so he want's to sell his stock. There's a small nick by the front swivel stud, probably from installation, other than that a nice stock. Brand new. We're really not sure how much it would be worth, maybe...

Re: another 204 Ruger Question for the masters

How many shots have you fired? I'm not sure about Rugers but I've had two Savages that wouldn't shoot until I had about 110 rounds through it then they tightened up real nice.

More success with H4895 and 39BK

I shot this group today. 5 shots. I could have used a better target and tightened them up a bit. All I had was a pistol target. 27.7gr H4895 39gr Sierra Blitzking CCI BR-4 fresh winchester brass 2.3" COAL The group measured .375" center-to-center http://odegaardaviation.homestead.com/files...

There needs to be a littel pretravel for the sear to reset. Some people say there is a minimum of 1/32" pre-travel for the sear to reset. You'll just have to test and see where your setup likes it. I hope to get that same kit soon. Let me know how it works.

Another vote for the wilson trimmer. I just got started with it and I like it very much. I only need one case holder for new and fired brass. The case head doesn't protrude with new brass but it's still tight and square, and the stop fits inside the holder. My case holder is labeled: 204 ruger, 20 t...

Okay thanks. I also have some 75 v-maxs tuned up for my 243, maybe I'll try those. I just can't wait to see the terminal effects of a 75 grain bullet going 3500fps.

badgers

Hello everyobdy. Would a 39bk be suitable for badger hunting? They are really tearing up my parents yard and runway now. Any tips such as hunting times would also be appreciated. Thanks

I also have the same issue with my Savage VLP. Everything shoots fine so I wasn't too worried about it. I have only fired new brass so I guess I'll see what happens after sizing it. I'm still building up my stock of OF brass for Prairie Dogs.

How do you measure the shoulder to be accurate to one thousandth? Will a standard caliper work or do I need to buy some sort of gauge? I have reloaded my .243 by just sizing the neck and all seemed well.

VLP barrel finally broke in

It took about 120 rds but I think my barrel is finally broke in. I shot this group on saturday: 26.8gr H335 in new Winchester brass w/ BR-4 primers and the 39gr Sierra BK. http://odegaardaviation.homestead.com/files/webpics/3_24_07.jpg All five shots basically went in the same hole. The target was t...
