I've used 30gr bergers, 32gr v-max, 35gr bergers, 40gr vmax they all grouped great in my NEF, but not to the same poa, settled on the 30gr bergers and the 32gr v-maxs for the most part, they both shot to the same poa, if I was going to make a real habit of killin coyotes I'd opt for the 35gr bergers...

I had intended to use the cci br-4s but they are over 32.00 per 1000, the 71/2 are 16.00 per thousand, so far they have worked great! so i'll stick with the Remington 7 1/2s

Has anybody tried the ramshot tac powder with the 35gr bergers? suggestions on the starting load? max load? what velocities did you get?

which web site?

I was using 32gr v-maxs with 28.2 grs of benchmark, or 29.0 h335 but these were started low and worked up too! DON'T START THERE! BAD IDEA!
brass was remington and primers remington 7 1/2
groups at 100yds less then .5" I can consistantly pick an egg off of a coke can at 200yds!

thanks for the heads up, just sent off a mini mauser left hand action and a pac nor barrel in .204 having a custom rifle made, but i'll hold on to my NEF for now! my boys next rifle will be a howa 1500 in .204

I have a NEF handi rifle in .204, nothing wrong with it! accuracy is great, only draw back is the second shot! but overall it's a solid rifle, I know h&r and nef share the same design but not sure if they are the same gun! i've loaded the NEF fairly hot and it's never sprung open on me!

If your looking for a lighter .204, why get the howa in the sporter barrels in .204?

I was told by a guy that certainly has more experience than me shooting coyotes, set up a scenario, something like a fawn bleat and use a stick or your hand to shake a barbed wire fence, this makes it seem to the coyote that a fawn is tangled in a fence!, I'm sure if you could get the sheep rancher ...

well we're back, there is a few less prairie dogs in Dumas, Texas this mornin! now here's a question My rifle, my boys rifles are sighted in to be dead on at 200yds, we we're shooting pds at 250 to 400yds directly into the wind, the winds averaged about 10 to 15mph and we had to hold low to hit a pr...

eggs are chicken fruit! Me and my boy got into a little shooting contest, we filled coke cans with water and then set an egg on top, backed up to 200yds and proceeded to see who could hit the egg and not hit the can, was alot of fun til i noticed the boy starting to "miss alot" told him he...

WP has absolutely nothing to do with crime! it's about control! no tyrant can rule so long as there is an armed populace! it's never about crime that's just the excuse used! if it was really about crime we'd be like switzerland were they issue arms to the people!

I use the lee hand priming tool, works great!

No problem there, I have refinished stocks before and done my fair share of woodworking, like glen said enjoy seeing the progress from just a piece of wood to become a piece of art!, ordered the boyds stock for my boys Rem 597, I'll have him doing some of the work so that he gets a bit of an educati...

Recently I bought a Mini Mauser action, I'm going to build me a .204 custom rifle, I've already decided on a Richards thumbhole stock in Autumn leaves Laminate, haven't decided on a barrel maker yet but pac nor is high on the list, scope will be at least a 6-24x Mildot, I figure this will take me ab...
