Re: Issues with the Winchester 204 brass from Cabelas

I just went through both bags and did find the same issue with both. I also had both lot numbers that Jepp had listed. Bag 1 had 18 pcs, Bag 2 had 13pcs. Way too many for an acceptable failure rate. In my quality assurance world, with a 100 piece lot you would accept with 1 failure and reject at 2 p...

Re: who is shooting a CZ 527 American 204

I've had one for about four years now, and I love it. I'm in South Jersey below the mason/dixon line, and were seeing more and more groundhogs each year. In 2013 I shot 45 last year it was 43. were hunting 7 different farms. The Farmer's love us. Back to the rifle, since switching from a 25.06 4 yea...

Re: brass problems

Thank you Mr. Jo for the offer of the brass. Some of the Hornady rounds were a gift the rest was what Hornady sent me to replace the tall shoulders last year. I have a bunch Winchester brass that worked fine all summer. This was loaded with 39gr Sierra BK's. Super accurate on the chucks down here in...

My best hog hunt ever.

Not to be braggy, but, I've never shot 5 in one hunt before. Not to mention that four of them were from one hole. I seriously thought I was missing with each shot. I'd shoot and see nothing and then in five or ten minutes a head would pop up at the same hole. Then I'd repeat the process. I knew that...

Re: I,m liking the new CZ 527 .204

I really don't mind the extended mag.
For chucks I only load one round at a time anyway.
I might get one of those Calhoon single shot followers for chuck hunting.
If I take it to PA for coyotes I'll load up the mag.
