Thanks Micheal, The rifle is definately getting better in regard to the amount of shots before cleaning is required, maybe it has a tight chamber and barrel, so just keep plugging away eh , Benchmark 2 would be ok i guess , according to the charts the pressure would be up by heaps, prehaps i should ...

Hi jo191145, The load i am useing is .... 32 vmax, cci400 , rem cases , and 28.5 grains of ADI2206H, the powder equivelates to H4895...IMR4895...Tu5000...AA2460 . In Tasmania most powders are not available any more :( so at the moment i can use ADI powder or Winchester , I have chronographed the rif...

Gee wizz, i would not have thought that 1 grain of bullet weight would make the difference, but i guess the shape will , i guess that SBK means sierra blitz king, have thay got that sill plastic tip or conventional composite ? and another thing..... whats the story with the 204 in regard to bullet s...

Thanks Tadunga, i will see if i can get some to try

I have not tried the 39 sierra , i didnt think that there would be much difference between the 40 and 39 `s , :?: Do sierra do a 32 or thereabouts grain for the 204 ? As much as i am happy with the 32 vmax , i have always used sierra projectiles in everything in years gone by, its just i havent got ...

G`day everyone, For the first time ever i loaded some 40gr projectiles for the 204, only EVER used 32`s ,, and you know..... i think i will still only use 32`s... the 40`s were ok and i hit everything i shot at but they havent got that ????????? i dunno , you know what i mean the :duh: :duh: grenade...

Hi all , for those that are interested this is what i found with the moly coated hard cast projectiles in my 30-30, 22 grns 4064....... 1280 fps :( 25 grns 4064....... 1450 fps :| 28 grns 4064....... 1800 fps :) I am actually useing ADI 2208 , you guys in America may not have heard of it but it is t...

very nice indeed, freind of mine has got one the same , they are a very good rig .

congradulations...

Well that blows the 100 fps per inch of barrel theory

Hi Jeff , first of all ..... merry xmas to you to , I have not had used a short barrel 204 but i guess the affects would be a bit of a loss in velocity ( they reckon 1 inch of barrel is worth 100 feet per second ) , maybe you would have to use a slightly faster burning rate powder cause i am led to ...

Thanks guys, defineately shot with .204 , I actually find the 204 with the 32 vmax way more devestating than my .264 rem. or the other bigger cals. The only rifle i have other than the 204 that would be as devestating ( this may sound a bit strange to some ), wait for it .......... is my model 94 Wi...

Hi Qtiphky, some of the kangaroos are about 6 feet tall and probably weigh between 80 to 150 pounds :eek: , never really took the weight of a whole one, i know i have ran into a couple on my way home in my 4WD and smashed the bull bar back into the bonnett and done a lot of damage :mad: , mate of mi...

Well, i been out my hunting property for the last 4 days and nights, took my new 204 and a couple other rifles , all i can say is the new Ruger predator is absolutely awsome , well for me it is anyway, not that there was really anything wrong with my ol m77 but the duel stage trigger is sweet and th...

Thanks for the info guys , loaded a few up with various loads and will see how they go .

cheers ,Tony.
