So today I finally had time to try out some 10x. Started off Loading up 5 lots of four rounds seated at 2.260 with the following loads and groups:- 24.5g .507 24.7g .643 24.9g .752 25.1g. .744 with pulled shot/ without . 317 25.3g .745 I was pleased with the groups. A few hole in holes. I then picke...

Thanks for the replies. I don’t do guessing either, was hoping someone new of some software. I usually physically measure the drop of my loads, not often concerned with MV as long as the bullet is permforming as expectet. Hard to measure with a NV on for bullet drop, no accurate poi. Chronys are qui...

Hi Anyone know what sort of muzzle velocity I can expect to get with .204 20” barrel, IMR 4895 and 39g.SBK. Had pretty much the same size groups with 27.4, 27.6, 27.8 and 28g. With 27.6 was slightly the best group. Can’t imagine there is much MV difference with 0.6g of variation. Want to get the loa...

Hi

Many thanks for the reply. Yes I wasn’t surprised by the results, But I don’t think I will waste my time trying other ammo. Used the 17HMR last night, no problems, just a bit boring lol

Cheers

Yeah think I will. They aren’t such a varmint bullet design I think I’m right in saying, unlike the vmax ones designed for max fragmentation. I’d be very interested to see what a Berger bullet does. I also came across some 25g bullets? Anyone tired those. Normally use .17HMR on hares with no damage ...

Hi Guys. Took the Ruger out on the hares tonight for the 1st time using 40g vmax. As I thought it would, it caused too much damage. Tried different shot placement and distances but not really suitable on the whole, kills them well though. My questions is what other bullets could I try? I want the fl...

Hello I have the about scope. I've zeroed it etc. I had thought I could reset the E turret to zero after but it's zeroed at the 3rd hash mark. Is it possible to set turret to the zero hash mark once zeroed? I've put the shims in so it does stop where I've zeroed it just be happier with it at 0 line....

HI Guys Just joined today, great forum. I have recently brought myself a .204 in Tikka T3X Varmint with a Vortex 6-24x50 PST scope on it. Very pleased with the setup. Ive not taken anything with it yet but have christened it on a steel fox at 740y, to my amazement the bullets went where my app said ...
