You do know it's for sale, right?

Guys, this will be the first time I try selling a gun on here, so please bare with me if the transaction takes a little work. But if you work with me I know you won't be disappointed. Ruger #1 .204 SS/Syn Heavy Varmint Barrel. Gun will come with bases and rings, no scope. I will also incude RCBS die...

I had a Monarch 6-24X50 on a .223. For the money I paid, I think it is JUNK compared to an equally priced Ziess that I known. I sold the scope and took a $200 loss.

Yesterday afternoon Collin shot this 230 pounder with the 25-06. DRT!!!!

Good ideas! Thanks guys.

Rich, this sounds interesting, keep me posted after you try it please.

There you go Bill, now I'm gonna have to buy a new rifle and reloading supplies for a .20 Vartarg......way to go Bill. My wife is go na love you. I'm gonna tell her it's all your fault.

Thanks for the help guys.

Also, I forgot to mention, my Ruger#1 seems to like CCI 450 SR Mag. primers.

I've bought a pound of RE10X. Is there any load data out there for the 32g V-max? Look in the "Favorite Load" thread. There is an Excel spreadsheet with good info on powders and bullets. I printed it out and it sits on my reloading bench. My best powder has been BL-C(2), but I haven't tri...

thanks for the suggestions, I may try to put some wax on a non absorbant suface and roll the cases. We'll see.....I'll post results if I find something that works. I may try the baggie method that was suggested.

I really don't like the thought of skinning out the necessary scratch for Norma or Luapua brass,.... what's your thoughts on Winchester? Do you think it will give me better results without having to go into measuring necks and everything that goes along with that? And you've probably hit the nail on...

rooster , I'm not necessarily recommending neck turning, especially for a factory chamber/barrel......just check your brass for neck thickness variations of more than about .0015" to .002" per side. If the neck varies that much, then the case body itself most likely does too, so the brass...

It may favor 204 Ruger. But we sure discuss and cuss other calibers. One of my favorites is my old 25-06 Rem. It has been on many a hunt, over the years, from Alaska to most all the western states, west of the Miss river. Enjoy the site, and that is a fine group at 200 yrds.. Bill K :)[/quote] I rea...

Another option to try: Lube on pointer finger and thumb. Spin case between thumb and finger, start on neck and stop about a third of the way down from case shoulder. Don't need a bunch and won't have to clean dies as often. Too much lube creates a bunch of clean-up and may wrinkle shoulder. Too lit...
