Is there any scope out there that has a bullet drop recticle that works for us 204 guys?

Do you use the wipe-out foam only or blend in other solvents before/after?

Ive found I need to upgrade my cleaning methods since getting the 204. Just putting Hoppes#9 does not seem quite good enough. I guess these fast bullets and fast burning powders (Im using VV530 powder (nitroglycerol)) - makes cleaning more critical. Ok, enough bull, what are the best barrel cleaners...

The T3 has a 12" twist rate - so it should be fine with those 32 grain pills

Id really like to get 4000fps (and accuracy) out of this rifle. Should I try another powder?

I bought winchester factory ammo. It did a whooping 4150fps, accuracy was not super but OK. If they cam mass produce that stuff we must be able to do at least the same

After few tests witn N530 I found that 26.0 grains gave me best groups - 0,5" @ 100yds. A little more powder and groups started to open up. Im using norma brass and nosler 32grain bullets in my Tikka T3 varmint. Here is the problem, speeds were far under 4000fps and speed did vary quite a bit -...

Forgot to show U guys a picture I took before solving the problem.

Heres a picture of a dent in a case, I had a couple of these. Guess you know what were talking about here?

Good news, got the FL dies working for me. Nice fit now, a bit of trimming still needed but shoulder issue solved.

Live and learn. Thanks

Just neck sizing, got new FL dies and trying to work them out.

Yes I did and used the full size die to do so. Did not seem to work, at least not this time. Will look into die adjustments again...

Gentlemen. Im reloading cases for a 6.5swede (great caliber by the way). After full sizing its hard to close the bolt, so I measured and its 55.10mm. Im my reloading manual case lenght is given at 55mm (2.165"). Slightly too long - So I trimmed the brass down to 54.80mm. Still it takes quite an...

Gentlemen

Do you know if there is a good laser boresighter made that fits the 204 Ruger?
Id prefer a unit that works for other calibers too but mainly for the 204.

Suggestions?

Owe you all a cold drink. Thanks.

Im so new I cant really tell if the die crimps or not. ITs RCBS model 10302. Ill look it up when I get home, but for the record would you explain a little what this crimping is about?

Again - thanks. Just finished working on the brass and my coffee. Seems to work better to seat the bullets, had two cases scrape the bullet though :( One question, is it possible the neck is too tight because I used too much force when resizing? http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/MOTOXLEO/A13F4...
