WrzWaldo:

Do you just soak the cases in the hot water and Kool-Aid solution or do you place them back into the Ultrasonic Cleaner for the hot water and Kool-Aid steps?

Be sure and look over the Favorite Loads Sticky Thread. That really helped when I got going. It lets you know if you're in the ballpark without loading the 100's of possible combinations. Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

How big are these things? I just started shooting Prairie Dogs in eastern Colorado and western Kansas last in the summer of '05. That's when I got bit by the .204 bug adn began reloading. Our guys can get HUGE. They say that they average 9" while perched on their holes. Around the Denver Metro ...

Long Range Scopes for Prairie Dog Hunting

This one is for Mike on the Got .204 thread. Here's the story. My father-in-law (pretty new cause I just got married last April) lives in Western Kansas and has been shooting, hunting, and reloading for most of his life.

Check out your other post for Question #1. http://www.rugerhunting.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2552 I think you probably have more than enough scope. I had a 3.5 to 14 VX-L on a Remington XR-100 chambered in .22-250 and used it a few days in Western Kansas on PDogs. I had more money (call it credit) t...

I also use the RCBS. It has the universal shell holder and works great for .204 through .45ACP. I also just used it for .38-55 (a little thicker rim) with no problems. I like it cause I can clean after sizing, clean flash hole, inspect, and prime while watching TV upstairs with my wife. This cuts do...

We've had snow on the ground here for 6 1/2 weeks. I know most of you guys (and gals) think Colorado is close to Alaska, but we usually get some 70 degree days in January.
