That is the XR-100s favorite load. I am pretty confident in the 35 gr. Bergers with 25.6 gr. of Benchmark though. I'll probably go with that load on the day I shoot. Actually, I'll probably take a couple of loads that day and see which is best for the conditions.
It looks like the Factory class has the most shooters. That ought to be some interesting results. I am kinda bummed that some of our regular posters and all around nice guys haven't signed up yet. Perhaps they're waiting until the rest of us get settled in so they can pick the best class. I won't mention any names but, their initials are RIO and SF. Maybe they're just trying to sike us out.
I'm really interested in seeing some of the groups people shoot. I have always thought that the .204 Ruger had some real accuracy potential. My Panda has proved, to me at least, that it's a lot more accurate than most people realize. Not to mention the devastation it wreaks on varmints.
Another idea for my shooting my target. How about I put my target in the envelope with one of you fine folks targets, you sign or initial it, send it back to me, I shoot it and then send it to one of you for measurement?
Wrz Waldo Seeing as we're conducting this shoot under the honor system I think you can be trusted with your own target.
I participated in a postal shoot at Savageshooters. You fired your agg at any target you desired and emailed in the results. Thats trust

Hotshot beat me to it but I like his case closed sentiment
Been getting a few questions on cost. I have not done a very good job discussing that matter. The cost to compete is postage to return the targets to me for scoring. I'm including a pre-addressed envelope with the targets. You shoot, put your target/s in the envelope addressed to me, put the proper postage on it, and drop it in a mail box.
WrzWaldo...............Thanks for doing all the leg work and looking forward to doing my part.
Good luck to all shooter who are taking part.

Life is an adventure and often to short. Make the most with family and friends. Shoot often and shoot a small hole. Love the 204 Ruger!! NRA Life Member

Been playing with a scoring spreadsheet, then I happened to catch a post over at Benchrest Central about the "Bughole Benchrest Scoring System". Looks promising.
Great news!!! Thanks again for doing all this work. This would be a great time to remind those of us who can't remember what we had for dinner the night before, errr ahh oh allright just me.
When is our homework due schoolmaster?
I was just notified that one of you got your target/s today! Guess I need to get some reloading done. My brass is all prepped and purty, just needs primers, powder, and bullet tips!

I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it.
