Was at the the range yesterday to try some new powders. I had high hopes for this combo of 35gr. Berger's and H4895. So far it has not been good. The best 3 shot group was .711, the rest were .717 to .729. Next I will try it with some 39gr. Sierras. On a brighter note I also bought a pound of BL-C 2...

I have some loaded and ready to test tomorrow. I will let you know how they shoot. I will be using them in a CZ varmint 204. The 35 Berger's have done well with 10x, varget and benchmark, half in. average at 100 yds. I am hoping to do a little better with the H4895.

Thanks for the great pictures. That area is my favorite part of Ohio. I used to hunt around Gnadenhutten and Schoenbrun. Had some private land to hunt deer on. The wife and I get to Millersburg and go East on 39 into the Amish area a couple times a year.

Going to a Gun Show tomorrow and hope to pick some up. It sounds like a great new powder.

Have you checked with the Sportsman's den in Shelby, Ohio? They have the best deals on guns that I have found. Ask for Paul.

I had the same thing happen yesterday. I got a bounce dryer sheet, wiped the funnel down inside and out and no more problem.

I will be loading all of my own. I have a good supply of various bullets and powders. I can't wait to get started. I have prepared all of my cases. Two hundred win. and two hundred rem. I have been shooting for years but never looked to get the accuracy that I am hoping for with this gun and caliber...

Thanks Rick, I already have some spar varnish ready. I have read a lot of the post on here and that is why I decided on the CZ. I just didn't remember anyone that had to float their barrel on this gun. I hope to get out next week and see how it will do after the break-in.

Al

Thanks, that is what I thought would be the best thing to do. I will be working on that tonight.

I finally got my CZ527 varmint 204. Got it all cleaned, and checked the barrel to see if it was free floated. I found the wood to metal very tight. I tried the dollar bill test, and if would not fit. I was wondering if everyone free floats there barrel's? Do you usually have to do this or do you jus...

Thanks for the pictures. Every couple of years we get that type of frost. Last night the humidity was 93% but it stayed warm enough not to freeze..

Al

Thank you Greystone, that was what I needed and couldn't find.

Thanks Rick, I just called and ordered everything you suggested, he had to look up the number for the correct guide as it was not on the Internet. They were very helpful. I have to stop depending on the Internet so much to order things and call the people who know the answers. I will be doing more b...

Hello, this is my first post and need some help with cleaning the 204. I have a CZ527 varmint on order. I am getting everything I need to reload and now for the cleaning end. What would be your suggestions for rods, jags and brushes. Also I am having a hard time finding a bore guide to fit the CZ. I...

Hello all. I have been lurking and reading all the old post to see how the folks get along here, and I have to say this is a great bunch of people. The knowledge is shared freely. I have been away from rifles for a while and just getting back in. I have a CZ 527 Varmint 204 on order. I have a Ruger ...
