Re: Need Some Help.....New Rifle Gone Bad!!!

I have not had a problem since I started including using "butches bore shine" along with using "wipeout". I find wipeout is great for copper but can't quite do the job for removing carbon. So far RL-10X has been the most accurate with both the light and heavy bullets with benchma...

Re: Need Some Help.....New Rifle Gone Bad!!!

Ran into the same problem (not quite as bad) with both of my 204's back in Nov of 07.
I burn mostly RL-10X and had a "carbon problem"

Re: Walking predator/varmint rifle.

I also just recently picked up a camoed Tikka lite with the stainless barrel in a 243. So far it shoots the factory stuff really well. Perfect weight and nice trigger. I can't wait until I find one of these in a 204.

Medic: We call that "teaching Skippy to jump"...... :lol: It's a real hoot to give him flying lessons, sometimes in many different directions at once. Watching "skippy" get shredded through the scope is a an absolute "hoot" Here is an example of what you can see throug...

Welcome aboard. That 204 will definitely make some long distance "turtle soup". :twisted:

Re: 243 varmint loads

Thanks for the info guys. It does make more sense to use the mid-weight stuff for the better B.C.'s. for those loooong distance shots. It's to bad they don't make the varmint grenades with a ballistic tip to improve the B.C. on them. And by the way, welcome to the site Lenard. The guys here truly ha...

243 varmint loads

I was going to ask this question on the "243 for deer loads" thread, but didn't want to steal the thread. I've recently purchased a camoed Tikka lite (stainless) in a 243. I wanted it in a 204 but wasn't available. I've never owned a 243 before and figured I just had to have one. I don't n...

Re: New 204?

nice looking unit. I wonder how heavy they are. Would be nice to hear some range reports on it.

Re: cost of reloading the 204

I don't save any money. I just shoot a heck of alot more without feeling guilty about it.

Re: Case trimmers

Thanks for all of the replies guys. I never did look at the Forester. I like the idea that I can neck turn with the unit as well. With the "hand crank" jobs, how many pieces of brass can you do before the hands and fingers get "fatigued"?

Case trimmers

I am at the point where I have to start "trimming" my brass. I've checked a bit on the internet, but am unsure as what to get. I looked at the RCBS at wholesale but from I can see you can't do the 20 cal with it. I would prefer an electric as I have about 2000 + pieces to do. I would need ...
