Welcome to the forum. I also have the 12 VLP in .204. I shoot the 40gr Nosler BT's in front of H-4895 @ 3880fps for coyote and get sub 1/2 MOA groups when I do my part in calm wind. The 40gr bullets have a slower muzzle velocity but with their superior B.C. they hold their energy better down range a...

I chose the 40gr Nosler BT a couple years back and have had great results. The reason I chose it was a very good group and sustained energy with it's great B.C. The 32 VMAX starts out fast but looses steam. The Nosler 40gr @ 3880fps muzzle velocity has 500+ft/lbs energy past 350yds where the 32gr VM...

204, My wife got me a Foxpro 532B for our 20th wedding anniversary to get me started in e-callers and I've been able to play the upgrade game since. I've had the FX3 then had it upgraded to FX5. Sold it for $450 and got the Fury. Foxpro is a great company to deal with. The Fury has been more dependa...

The temp. here yesterday mornin' was mid teens, the coldest this winter. The wind was out of the NNW and north which doesn't happen often here. There's a property I have permission to hunt and the way it's laid out I only go when the wind is like it was today. I have seen lots of sign over the past ...

Looks like it's sold.

My loss can be your gain. The only problem I've ever had was a wire came loose from the battery clip that I soldered back on rather than send it back to foxpro. The remote has the red back-light, (you can't tell in the pic'). It has the door bumpers on the buttons and velcro on back so I could mount...

I shoot Nosler 40gr BT's at 3880fps with great killing results. If it hits at much of an angle it makes a big entrance hole (not a splash). In GA the fur isn't worth selling so I don't care. I haven't had one run off yet and I've shot several 35+ pounders, a 40lb female, and a 45lb male. The jacket ...

Way to go! Those 12VLP's are fine shootin' guns. That's what I use. A little heavy but worth it when you have to reach out there. My longest DRT shot is 280yds on a half grown coyote. (small target).

Well I got my powder load worked up again and it turned out to be the same as before. 40gr Nosler BT's at 3880fps gave me a group just under 3/8": http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a93/GAJoe/P2100012.jpg After 3 shots I knew I had a winner so I fired one from the last batch and it fell right in ...

That's what I was thinkin' I should do. Thanks for the responses. Yea, around here coyotes are the only critters I shoot with the .204. (A box of 100 will last me a while) That's only required 12 rounds in the last 18 months to take 9 coyotes. The rest were used to check zero when I felt the need. N...

I'm down to 20 rounds of ammo so I'm going to load up another batch. My load is 40gr Noslers pushed by H4895 using CCI BR-4 primers. I got Remington 7 1/2 primers to try in this batch and I was out of powder so I'll be getting a new can. Should I back off on my powder load or would it be safe to use...

Thanks for the responces guys. I think I'll stick with my Nosler load. (3850 fps)

First I want to say I am happy with the performance of the 40gr Nosler BT's I've been shootin' in my .204 for coyote; no splashes(gaping entrances if they enter at an angle but continue in to get the job done well :thumb:). I'm down to about 20 rounds and am getting ready to do some loadin'. I saw t...

+1 for Stoney point rapid pivot. I love mine!

When I first looked at getting a .204 I ran the #'s on the different loads and saw that the .204 really shines with the 39 and 40gr bullets over the 32gr for longer ranges. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a93/GAJoe/32Vmax.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a93/GAJoe/204.jpg Be sure to note the en...
