Re: RL-10X and Barnes Varmint Grenade

I use 26.3 gr of RL-10X, 23.3 gr of H-4198, and 27.8 gr of benchmark with the varmint grenades.
RL-10X had a slight edge with accuracy.

Re: Squirrel Shoot

Thanks for the pics. IT'S SNOWING out here right now :wall: I can't believe this weather. The 204's still haven't been out this season yet.

Re: A "double" this morning

When I decided to call, I sat down on the pail and because of the deep snow, I used a set of "shooting sticks" instead of the bipod. That was a VERY FUN day. :twisted:

Nice pics Verm2. That's the best way to spend the day playing "hooky" from school.

Re: Squirrel Shoot

Nice pics Ryan. That elevated platform sure would do the trick for those sneaky ones that just like to barely show themselves.

Re: My New 204 Meets Skippy Part II

Nice pics Rick. Our ground squirrels are up and about "en masse". I'm hoping the wife brings her SLR for some action shots when I head out. Soon, very soon.

Re: 8208 XBR & H4895 in .204 w/35 gr Berger & 40 gr. V-Max

Nice shootin Silverfox. It's good to see the new 8208XBR is working for you. I have an opportunity to buy an 8 lb jug, but I think I'll wait until I can get a 1 lb'er for testing just in case my three 204's don't like it.

Re: 300 yd groups

My VLP has a Leupold VX-L 6.5 - 20 X 56mm with the varmint reticle. When dialed in at 20X, I used the third hash mark down and was about 3 1/2" low. Here's some links to the free targets that I use. I like some of their long range targets. Helps me stay focused when I squeeze off that shot. htt...

Re: New to the forum Having a problem with my 204

I have lapped the barrel twice now. and yes I copper clean it after every 20-30 rounds or it just flat out won't shoot. The layer of copper you are seeing in the bore is after 20 rounds on a freshly scoured Barrel. I am using Sweets 7.62 solvent for the copper with a nylon brush. Thanks for the rep...

Re: Launch or disintegration?

I like LAUNCH. My FAVORITE is the "Texas Heart Shot"....nothing better than a launch this way. Here is one of my favorite "Texas Heart Shots". Not much for launch, just major "vaporization". :twisted: http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m128/gube_2006/Prairie%20Poodle%2...
