Re: 32 grain V-max or 39 grain Blitzking for Rockchucks?

Thanks for the responses guys. I have some of each, so I'll load up some of each and give them a shot. I know the 39s will do a nice little cloverleaf at 100 yards, and the 32s seem pretty accurate too - kinda hard to tell for sure though, because my scope died about 3 groups into my last sight in s...

32 grain V-max or 39 grain Blitzking for Rockchucks?

I am going to have access to some land with rockchucks on it this spring, and I would like to try out the .204 on some of them. I have loaded both the 39 gr. Blitzkings and 32 gr. V-maxes in my gun, both shoot pretty well, and both do a number on ground squirrels at 200 yards and less. But rockchuck...

Re: 32 grain vs 39 grain recoil

The weight of the rifle makes a lot difference, as far as recoil felt or noticed. My Howa, fully dressed, to make skippy "dance" weighs in at just over 10 1/2 lbs. I do shoot both the 39's and the 32's and I do see most of my hits thru the scope. I am shooting a T/C Encore, and although i...

32 grain vs 39 grain recoil

I have been shooting the 39 grain Blitzkings for as long as I have had my .204, and have been very happy with their accuracy and performance on ground squirrels. However, I have noticed that at shorter ranges and/or higher magnification, sometimes my rifle jumps just enough to keep me from seeing al...

NEF .204 Ruger - back up for sale - SOLD

I have an NEF Handi Rifle that has about 150 to 200 rounds through it that I am putting up for sale. It is a very accurate rifle, regularly printing groups between 1/2 and 3/4 of an inch at 100 yards with ammo it likes. I used it last year to shoot a few ground squirrels, and it is absolutely brutal...

.204 barrel Length and Recoil for Encore

About a year and a half ago, I bought an NEF Handi Rifle in .204, and have had a great time with it. Shoots groups under an inch, and absolutely vaporizes ground squirrels. Only problem with it is that with the 22 inch barrel, it is just light enough to keep me from seeing many of the shots through ...
