Trying to get my hands on some hornet 30 gr varmint grenades to no avail...has anyone used the 36gr in the hornet?

Thanks

Looking for couple hundred rounds if anyone has any. PM me, thanks

SPF thank you

I'm out of room in the safe and need to thin a few things out. I have a 24" White Oak Armament Varmint upper in .204 ruger with a 1:12 twist and fluted option. Round count is under 50. It was purchased about a year ago during my "black" rifle phase but I have since reverted to the bol...

I would get one of the aluminum powder funnels specific to the .204 from Sinclair.

Really like the one I have.

Bill:

Cut the load down to 25.25 gr of 10x and got three shots into a 1/4" group. It was 90 degees and the velocities were still 4,100ish...little confused if the hot weather raised velocity to the same area as a 1.25 grains less powder?

So I went out to shoot my Cooper 204 yesterday with the new Nosler BTLF 32 gr yesterday. I used my typical 26.5 gr of reloader 10x and remington primers. I setup a new chronograph (Competition Electronics) to record a few velocities. First three shots came in at 4,219, 4246, and 4,287. I inspect the...

So here is the "synthetic" Cooper lineup...amazing how these things breed. The top is a .270 that had a fancy wood stock but I parted out for an Excalibur...middle is the Phoenix .204 and bottom is the Jackson Hunter 17hmr. I have a Model 54 .220 swift on order and hopefully that should do...

[quote="Silverfox"]Making sure my scope is level with the world is a very tedious job for me. I use Burris Signature Zee rings for all my scopes and similar to what RowdyYates and Wrangler John do. I don't really trust the scope caps as being totally in line with the horizontal crosshairs ...

Here is an interesting article I found that has some very good points...

It's always a toss-up between a true level and a canted level for me. Trouble is with a varmint gun it better be level or they start walking...

I was wondering how you guys tackle scope cant. When I mount a scope I shoulder it to check eye relief and making sure the reticle is level. I have always noticed though when I mount a bipod the crosshairs look noticeably crooked. This past deer season my brother and I a friend were out hunting, whe...

I was in the process of loading and haven't shot them yet. I separated them off to the side.

Thanks for the contact info. I have shot quite a few of them in the past and never really noticed this being an issue.

I recently purchased a couple boxes of Nosler BTLF for my 204. When I was seating the bullets I noticed roughly 1 out of 3 looked like it had the ballistic "tip" shaved off on one side. Has anyone else noticed this? Curious if it has an effect on aerodynamics and in turn accuracy? Seems a ...

Thanks for the help guys...looks the the 1:12 should work fine. In hindsight I would have gone with the 1:10 but live and learn.

I'm looking at buying a 204 upper from White Oak for my AR. The gun will be used primarily for shooting ground squirrels. I am planning on going with a 24" barrel but had a question related to twist. The lead free bullets (Barnes grenade and Nosler Leadfree BT) are obviously longer than their l...
