Varmit Grenade

So far so good. I loaded up some of the new Varmit Grenades and tried them out over the weekend. First test they passed with flying colors that would be the accuracy test. I was a little worried about them since I had tried the .22 cal grenades last year with horrible results. Happy to say that the ...

Re: what should i get for a gun

I have the CZ american in 204 and really like it. Now that said I also have a H&R and like it just as well. Now the H&R is not in 204 but when I sent it in to have another barrel fitted for it I did have them do a trigger job (no charge then) and man is that thing lite. Almost to lite in fac...

Re: NC Coyotes and Bobcats

How much damage was done by the 32 v-max? This is the first year we will be able to hunt them in Iowa and I would love to use the 204 as long as pelt damage is low.

Wife loves the idea of a mounted cat :lol:

I am waiting to see if they will group in the khornet. If not I am not interested. Hate to say that but I am a little worried after last weekends shooting since I have never had that problem with any reloads before and kind of thought most that clamed that just screwed up :oops: :oops: :oops:

My mind may have changed. I am hoping that it is just the load that I am using and I plan on reducing the powder charge to see if the groups get better but ohhhh man. Took the khornet 10" contender barrel out this weekend and after getting it sighted in using the ol tried and true 40 grain nosl...

I picked some up for my Khornet and have not had a chance to try them on a pest or see how they group yet but I am getting about 150fps faster than I was with the 40 grain v-maxes. One of the things that I did do was shoot a can of beans and even at the 2,700+ fps hornet speed it basically vaporized...
