Do you try 600 yards! I think the accuracy of the 204 suprises most of the bigger calibers at ranges between 300-400 yards. With pratice of coarse. It can be a challenge to get on the paper at 600 yards. If you beat the big guns that's even better. Any time you can get range time in the friends make...

I have some Microfyne Graphite- Extra-fine (-325 mesh) graphite.
I use this in dry form on triggers and such, can I make my own "homebrew" colloidal graphite! Or might I run into issues with WS2 & graphite!

I have been using WS2 on almost all bullets. I also coat "paint" the barrel much the same as you do. I did not know WS2 was corrosive!

BCB,
Thanks for the colloidal graphite info.

Would this be the as WS2 and Denatured Alcohol mixture (that I have been using)!

cynergyguy, Last spring I was looking into the samething. I also- I want to spend as little as possible but I do want a quality product. I decided on the CZ line. I could not find much not to like with thier line up from including the CZ 452 American and Varmint 22LR. A 22WMR and 17HMR calibers. I e...

I received my copy of "The Ultimate in Rifle Accuracy " today. I paid $.73 for the book plus $3.99 shipping and it's in new condition.
Thanks for your all's advice, it looks like a good read.

Welcome to the forum. I'm not from Michigan, but if you see Rich Rodriguez "Coach Rod" ask him and say . Just kidding, again Welcome to the forum.

I used the excel spreadsheets @ http://www.BRLeather.net/ReloadingData.html About 2/3 down the page is a reloading calculator and instructions. It includes calculations for Primer Powder Grains Bullet Grains OAL Largest Smallest AVG Shot #1 Shot #2 Shot #3 Shot #4 Shot #5 AVG Spread Energy It also h...

Thanks for the input on the books. I have never bought on book online but feel I need a couple of them. Over the summer I installed a Jewel Target Trigger. This improved overall grouping. It also made the other culprits for inconstant shooting apparent. For me breathing, shoulder pressure and grip. ...

In a different forum post- Reloading the 204- Post subject: where to go from here. I did want to hijack that thread! Rich V - said- both vertical and horizontal stringing with fliers. Some fliers may be from gusting winds, bedding, loose scope, ect. Vertical strings could be from load variances, or ...

I tried to measure the seated primers but had a hard time getting a repeatable measurment. Will try and find a micrometer to measure them. My list of things to check is getting longer. Not much to do in the winter anyway. Thanks again.

A guy up the road shot a bear hunting dog with a tracking collar on it and didn't bother to check or remove collar, because it was on his property. Boy did he pay.

Thanks, since I had a fairly new rifle and new RCBS Competition dies. I did not think of headspace! I have read about it but never experienced it. Now I need to get a headspace gage and check to make sure that the full length die is adjusted properly. Can I just bump with that or should I be looking...

Over the summer I had a few reloads that didn't go off! Maybe 6 out of 300. I originally thought the primers or pockets were at fault, but someone said firing spring or pin might be the fault. Another said use a hand primer, I use the one on the RCBS Rock Chucker Press. So at that time I didn't look...

Free recoil is when you use nothing but the trigger finger pad on the rifle when firing from the bench. Shoulder does not contact butt of rifle when shooting. I started shooting this way this fall. I think that this has caused me to "trigger slap" now. Don't know if I like that. Hard hold ...
