I had a Howa 1500 in .204, I'm surprised that you can get it anywhere near the lands.

Thanks for that Steve, the S & B is a 30 mill tube and its a beut so I'll have to stick with it.

Many thanks, my prob is I live in the UK, and that IS a problem, believe me

Yes I looked at that, I could afford to go 1/4" and still clear it tho.
Thanks

Hi guys

I have one of the above and have just got a 30mm S & B scope for it.
At the moment the rifle has the original CZ mounts, but the scope sits about 1/2" high off the barrel.

Do any of you have suggestions for mounts that will lower the setup please.

Hi Guys I have been reloading the CZ for a while now and just got some H335 I have read a few loads using H335 that seem to exceed the max of 28.30, what have you loaded to without pressure signs etc. I have just loaded some with 28.40 with zero signs of pressure and it shot a good group, I did'nt c...

I contacted Lee, they wont make one for the .204

So I got a 222 Rem mag one and polished it down to fit, its ok but I check every case anyway.

I use an old Lee funnel (the red one)
I cut a .17 case in half with plumbers pipe cutters and it superglued perfectly into the hole in the funnel, as others have said the 17 neck sits great in the 204 neck.

I got similar probs with the 32's but no more since i usee an RCBS case tool, just chamfer the inside of the case neck a little.

But, i dont shoot for accuracy, just varmints.

BLC-2 also holds the 32 grain Hornady V-Max to a nice group in my 24" CZ American

In my humble opinion, nylon will not effectivly remove fouling, but to answer your question it wouldnt damage the bore/crown either.

So you end up with a fouled barrel and and an undamaged crown

Hi Guys

Correct me please if I am off the mark here but...........
how can soft brass bristles damage hard steel, I know we should be carefull with the crown, I am not a mettalurgist (thats never spelt right) but aint that why bore brushes are made of all brass (the good ones anyway.
