Congratulations
Only a very small hole on the exit wound - lovely condition - i'd say about 3-4 years old

Re: Rem X Mark Triggers

by the time you get an xmark somewhere near usable its heading to unsafe territory. I use timney, rifle basix or jewells as i dont shoot long enough to be able to get accurate groups using an xmark.

Re: Trigger opinions - Jewell or Kepplinger or Timney

Jewell for me, easy to fit, great let off and suitable for many applications from varmint to bench

Re: Does anyone reload with VIT 120

well .....it would seem that Vit 120 is too quick burning for the small bore of the .204 according to quickload so its BLC-2 starting with 28.0 grains going up in 0.5's to 30.0 grains to see how they work with 40 grain v-max pills..... :chin: wish me luck and i hope my rifle LIKES the 40 grainers :w...

Does anyone reload with VIT 120

hello there, first post, so a big Hi :D i use 120 in my .223 with great results - as the .204 is in the same'ish family (brass wise) i wonder why there arent any loads using Vit 120. I have trailed the internet and various powder manufacturers & loading sites and cant really find a link or refer...
