I'm in. Is this going to be a 100yd or 200yd shoot. Let me know if you get enough interest and I'll send you the info. Sounds fun.

Hey mporter. welcome to the forum. I live in IOWA and can get you hooked up with a guy to get you one. Just pm me and I'll get you the info. How far from Des Moines do you live?

Just chiming in here on the viht powder. I use n-135 and thanks to JO191145 I am shooting the best I ever have with my 204 using 39 gr bk. I laddered up in 1 gr increments from 26.5 to 27 gr. It settled in at 26.9. I shoot comp varmint matches with it and have seen great success so far. I'm hooked o...

The competition that I shoot is a 200 yd varmint match. 10 varmint targets w 1/2" bullseyes. Perfect target is 400 pts. 10 shots, 10 minutes. It's a blast to do. Everybody thought that I was crazy when I brought my 204 to the first shoot, but now they are kind of scratching their heads. It was ...

Absolutely no signs of pressure. I went to a 200 yd match this weekend and took 2nd overall in stock class. A few of my misses were...

I just recieved an e-mail from Walt Berger with some load data for 135. Thanks to VARTARG for the info on e-mailing Walt. He shows a max load for 40 gr bullets at 25.9 gr. Does Walt kind of go on the low sides to keep it safe? What have you guys seen when asking Mr. Berger himself for load data.

J0191145, What kind of volocities are you getting with these loads. I went up to 25.7 gr and it shoots OK but this is what I was looking for. I was a little weary because I didn't have any load data but I can see now that I need to speed it up a little. Thanks for all the help from everyone. I reall...

I've used these powders and have had great luck with them. I've got 4 lbs of n135. I'm a little confused because there is very little load data for the 204. I e-mailed a VIHT rep and he thought N135 was to fast of burn rate for the 204, but when I look at burn rate charts it's a little faster than V...
