I have the exact same gun, and it took 60-80 rounds through the pipe to get it to settle in. It shoots great now. I hope you cleaned the barrel before you shot it. I've seen dirt and metal shavings let inside the most reputable guns, right off the shelf!

Out of my VSSF II I've been using 24.7 grains of RE10X, CCI-400 primers and been getting groups averaging .315". For a little knock down power, for yotes I use 25.3 gr and the group opens up a little to .432". But the extra velocity is great on bigger critters. I love my BK's!!

Piper-You'll probably find your groups will tighten up after 100-200 rounds through it. I was concerned about my VSSF until I ran 90 or so through the pipe. Now I'm getting .3's with handloaded Sierra 39BK's.

Rick- "liquifaction" is a new ballistic term, as of NOW! LOL!

Barnes is making Varmint Grenades for the 204 now, in a 26 grain load!! 26 grains! WOW. I've got to try them to see what ultra sonic speed I can get!

Wow, that's a good deal! I may just have to pick up another gun to put it on!

Bergcrane2, How are you liking your VSSF II? I just recently bought one - going to take it out tomorrow to get it sighted in. I love it. It took a while to get the barrel broke in though. My groups were huge at first but after 80-100 rounds through it, it settled in nicely. I'm getting low .3"...

Bergcrane2, Nice shooting, 350yrds with 15 MPH crosswind! Sounds like more than a mouse fart of wind to me :duh: . I was on another site and some clown made a fool comment about the .204 and "the slightest crosswind" I commented that he must have never shot the .204 and shouldn't make stu...

39 grain SBK's. It depended where I hit them to get maximum acrobatics.

Just got back from Wyoming and we spent a couple hours popping dogs. They've been shot at before so the only one's that sat for us were from 300-450 yards. Most mine came at 350 yards with a 15 mph crosswind. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l231/bergcrane2/DSCF0115.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/a...

I just got back from Wy and it's official. PD's in WY DO NOT APPROVE of the Remington VSSF II in .204.

Awesome! It works! Thanks!

Stay safe! Good luck! Thanks!

FYI- I just heard back from Montana. All you need is a Conservation Stamp. FYI
I leave Tuesday!

You'll like it. I bought the Howa Hogue in 300WSM. It took a little playing with powder/loads but I got it under 3/4". I lightened the trigger up myself and got it about 1 1/2# with just slight creep. Make sure the action is tight to the stock. Mine was touching at the forearm. I'd move it, and...
