Re: Temperature sensative 204 ruger powder Help!

On generally keep my ammo in a shady spot to avoid exposing it to unnecessary heat and any issues that may come from it, I live in Australia and it can get hot here in Summer (I use ADI powders 2206H and 8208 and can't say I've seen any issue re temperature.

Re: Best powder for the .204 Ruger???

ADI 2206H (H4895) goes well in my Howa 204 - 28.1gn behind the 39gn Bk (Over Max) ADI 8208 (IMR 8208 XBR) goes well in my Howa 204 - 29gn behind the 26gn Barnes VG (May be over Max) I've got to say the 204 would have to be one of the easiest to find a load that works along with the 222 and 22.250 - ...

Re: silencer (suppressor) ?

Re: Some Pics from Fox Whistling Down Under

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. What were you shooting that caused the huge exit holes? Are there many foxes there? What are some of your other favorite targets of opportunity? Do you have lots of rabbits? It is prime coyote pelt time in my neighborhood. We have a few foxes and bobcats, they ar...

Re: What .204 ruger rifle UK ?

I like my Howa's too, they all shoot well and function flawlessly, never had an issue with any of them and for the $600 I paid for them they represent excellent value, there's a heap of foxes and bunnies etc out there that absolutely hate em, I don't like plastic stocks so all mine are sitting in Bo...
