Jo, You wrote...... Your Sav 11 probably jumps around the bench a bit though heh. (Nah, not really, I have sandbags, although I want to get a rear rest. Problem is finding one I like, say to the right height) :wall: FWIW your model 11 with a 9.25 twist probably won't handle 100gn pills. Or are you l...

hey jo, Thanks for the reply and the welcome. And, yea, she'll let me borrow it! :D I suppose you don't think the 24's suffer less in the wind than 22's? I have a Savage 11 in the .243. I haven't tried it beyond 100 yards. I will this weekend maybe. Varminter

I'm going after woodchuck. Where I go hunting is upstate Pennsylvania. Potter county.

There's a fella who owns a gunshop up there who hunts chucks, he uses a worked 6mm PPC at 1000 yards.

Hey thanks hotshot It's my take too that a 1:12 twist won't work with heavier bullets. It seems that the 204 isn't a LOOOONG range cal. Guess I'l stick with my .243 win.

Actually I'm looking for a cal. for the wife that can do what
a .243 can do with less recoil. Any thoughts?

What range does the .204 peeder out? What kind of groups does it get say at 300,
400, 500, 600 yards?
