No, avtually they were shot with Benchmark. Imagine that, me not shooting RE-10X in a 204 Ruger. What will the neighbors think?

Those were 35 gr. Bergers, 26.4-26.5 gr. Benchmark, CCI BR4 with fully prepped Norma brass. The bullets were jammed .010 into the lands with a little extra neck tension. This rifle likes a different combination from my old XR-100. I gave the XR-100 to my son Jaxon after the Postal Shoot. He still uses 25.1 gr of RE-10X.
