Id like to thank you guys for taking time to shed some wisdom. Point taken. Brewing some coffee now and heading for my reloading bench. Time to practice. I keep U posted.

Im starting 204 reloads and have a weird problem. The bullets come out damaged from the press - pictured. Im trying to work out whats going on. Heres what I know, - new RCBS neck sizer dies, cleaned and prepped. - once fired Winchester brass - Nosler bt 32 grainers - inside case neck 50,1mm after re...

Heres my T3. Thanks for sharing info on the 204.

Hello

I have a Boresnake for my 204 but I guess its not the perfect cleaning method, right?

What cleaning rod/kit do you guys use? Guess I have to order one soon before I shoot more.

Would any of you tell me what you are loading and what the trajectory is like in your case?

Gidday Went out with my TikkaT3 and couple of boxes of factory Winchester 32grain ammo. I zeroed at 100yds. At 200yds bullet drop is 3,5" and at 250yds drop is a whooping 9,8". Thats not flat to me! I have not had a chance to use a chrono but Im wondering what you guys are seeing? Guess I ...

Id like to post two questions. Ive got two options for my first 204 loads. A VV-140 and VV-550. Which one would you recommend for me? Next question regarding sizing brass (neck sizing) - is there any danger of making the neck too tight for the bullet? What effect does too much bullet grip have? Many...

Thank you. Got it.
