First trip to the range with my 204.

Finally got a chance to go try out some of my handloads for my new Ruger KM77VT in .204 Ruger.
I really like the trigger on this gun. Ya, there are maybe some better ones out there, but I kinda like this one....
Rifle at the range
My best 40 gr Vmax group. 27.5 gr of Varget, Rem brass and cci 400 primers.
BTW... These are all 5 shot groups at 100 yds, fired of my cheapo rest and bag. Prolly a gusting 10-15 MPH wind coming from my 4 O'clock position.
On to the Sierra BlitzKings. These are 32 grain bullets, they didn't have any 39's but I plan to try them. I was a bit surprised to see how the AA2230 did with these.
26.5 gr of H322
27.5 gr of IMR4895
26.5 gr of AA2230
Still got a lot of playing around to do with it. Was a bit windy at the range, but all in all I was happy with how she shot. It sure is nice to shoot 100 rds, and not have a bit of a pain in the shoulder.
