Lee C and Skipper The reason rifles with a 1-12" twist will not shoot all 40gr bullets is that the twist is not fast enough to spin the bullets to really stabilize well. A 1-10" or 1-9" WILL make them spin fast enough to stabilize them. A 32gr needs a 1-14" twist and a 35gr needs...

Skipper No I have't shot any of the berger bullets. You stated that neither of your rifles will shoot the Nosler 40gr. I will bet that they will not shoot the 40gr hornady ether. This was the point I was trying to make about the 1-12" twist. Some rifles may stabilize some of the bullets of 40 g...

When the 204 Ruger cartridge became avaliable I bought a Savage 16 FSS rifle to see if I would like this cartridge better than my 223 Rem also in Savage 16 FSS rifle. The 204 Ruger had less felt recoil and had alot less bullet drop. So I decided to buy a Savage 12 VLP in 204 Ruger as my heavy barrel...

acloco. I need to learn how to post pictures and then I will post some. jo191145. I did not like the accuracy at long range.They are allot cheaper to shoot so I tested them to see if I could save some money. I want to have only one load that shoots very accurate at all ranges and hits hard. The Sier...

My Son and I along with his friend went on a PD shoot last week in South Dakota. For rifles I had a Savage 12 VLP I used last year on a PD shoot. This year I had a new AR15 varmint barrelled 204 Ruger. Both rifles have a Burris 4.5x14 AO with the ballistic plex reticle. For these two rifles I took 1...

I bought 2 new bags of WW 204 Ruger brass lot #2XC90 for my upcoming PD shoot in South Dakota. My normal brass preperation includes runing the new brass into the expander ball to round out the necks. Never had I needed to resize the necks on new brass in the fourty years I have been reloading. When ...

By hand or with a strap wrench.

Verminator. I went an 1 1/2" in from the front of the tube. This fits the Harris bipod really well. My Son and I used this method to get it centered on the tube. Have the rifle upside down. One person holds a pencil on the top of the tube 1 1/2" in from the front. The other person looks fr...

richnmib. I have a DPMS vented aluminum free float tube that is 12 5/8" long. It sells for about $80.00 retail. If you buy one and install it you must tighten it to the barrel nut, back it off and retighten it at least twice.This is done to take all the streatch out of the threads. Only then do...

My Son decided I needed an AR 15 as he enjoys shooting and building them. At first I was reluctant to do so because I thought they were not very accurate. When I was with the 101st Airborne Division we used the spray and pray method. When I was in the National Guard's we only qualified with them. Ar...
