First blood with 204

Post by hueys66 »

Acquired four more pivots to shoot at, unfortunately they dont have a ton of rats but a few. Plus it is a lot closer than the other two outfits I have access to. I had finally got a dialed load for the 204 and figured I should put it to use. It is bug holin at 100yds with 28grs of RL15 w/ a 39gr SBK. It wasnt doin too bad with the 32gr V-Max but wanted to tighten it up. Here is the first rat under its belt.

For the city folks this is why they call them sage rats, if you were wonderin why. They dont just dig colonies in alfalfa fields. :shock:

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
