300 yd grps with my savage 12 fv
300 yd grps with my savage 12 fv
this is my first try at posting photos , the first pic is factory 32gr hornady at 3oo yds .the second pic ( top group ) is of a 5/8'' group using 32 gr hornady with blc2 at 300 yds . the group under them by the red dot is 35 gr berger and 10x powder , i felt like i pulled the shot and in the third photo is a reshoot with the same load . all these groups were at 300 yds . the gun club president and the range officer were both with me that day as we were all shooting together , they were nice enough to witness the target for me . this is the second time i got the bergers and 10x to shoot this good .
the gun is a savage md 12 fv , it does have an accu trigger but i can't get it below 2.2 lbs .
i never in my life would ever figure that a stock rifle could shoot this good . now i have to eat some crow because of all the crap i give about savage rifles looking like a red headed step child .( yea , i like remys )
now all i gotta do is get this out for some woodchucks and see how it does !!

Overall, I think the 35gr Berger may be the golden formula for the .204 Ruger. Haven't read of them shooting poorly for anyone. Awesome groups!

So nice!!! You have the formula to put to work on the rodents at any distance you choose. Well done.
Take a kid to the range, both of you will be glad you did. remy3424

Most of my 100yd groups are not that good. Very well done. Ken.
