A 37 gr bullet of similar construction as the 35/40 gr Berger would definitely garner attention among the .20 cal shooting predator hunters.

you might seriously look at the 30gr bergers for fox, I took some with me on a pd shoot and they'll carry out to 400yds, my boy took great delight in head shooting pds, his bullet of choice was the 30gr bergers! Sounds like Singleshot was already trying the 30 Bergers ... So I loaded up a moderate ...

New addition to the arsenal this week, a CZ527 American in left hand and .204 Ruger, topped with a Bushnell Elite 3200 4-12x40 scope. (Not a great pic, but you get the idea). I'm interested in hearing about pet loads for the CZ527, with 35 gr and 40 gr Bergers especially. http://i18.photobucket.com/...

Pull up the Technical Specifications for each rifle. They're in PDF format.

Nicely done ! What bullet were you using ?

Are you saying CCI stamps the "B" on the cup after the primer is made?

I expect that would be a rather unhealthy practise.

I just picked up 500 of these Dogtown bullets too. Does anyone have loads for H4895 ?

They shoot well in my 1-in-12 twist Remington 700 VLS, with 26.5 gr H4895.

My buddy's NEF loves the 40 gr Bergers.

CCI 450 has served me very well.

A moderator from another site (in Canada) was a weapons tech on the movie. He painted all of the rifles that were used, including that smart looking CheyTac .408.
