Irish I think you might want to pose tis question in a new thread under the reloading section. This thread is a couple of years old.

The store had a bunch of these in stock and they were a really good price. I worked up a bunch of loads to test. The weather was less than perfect with crazy winds but I decided to test them anyway. They grouped very well considering the wind. The best group was with 27.5gr of H322 zipping along at ...

Yup, I'm definitely interested too. Sometimes this board is a little on the slow side. Heck I haven't even looked into this part of the forum for awhile.
Great pics.

Is that a .17 Predator? I'm sure that the velocities would be fine at the higher end. The problem was the accuracy fell off and the couple of keyholes with the 32gr Sierra's as the powder charge went up. I'm going to try it with some other bullet weights. UPDATE I loaded a few different loads with t...

Jim it doesn't have a stop per say. You go out and zero the scope. Then you use an allen key on the turret. Once loose it will spin with out changing your settings. You line the 0 back up on the turret. Then when you adjust it all you have to do is return the turret to 0 and it will be back at your ...

Fantastic rifle! That is a pretty fancy looking reloading bench too.

Beautiful rife! My next rifle would be a cooper if I could get them here

I love the turrets on my scope. I wish all my scopes had them.

Here is a thread I started last fall on 32 gr BKs keyholing when I had the factory barrel on the rifle. I had forgotten but I was using CFE223 then also, 29.5 grains. http://www.204ruger.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10103&hilit=keyholing Interesting thread Tokimini. I see someone replied t...

Bill: My rifle seems to do okay with the heaver bullets. The 39gr are excellent, the factory 40 I tried worked well. The 40gr Bergers are shorter than the 39's so I hoping they will do well. Even the factory loaded 45's seem to work well. In the hunting section there is a picture of a gopher I hit a...

I am defiantly going to try out R10X in the future for some of the 40 grain bullets that I have. I talked to my gunsmith about the problem with the 32 grain Sierra's. He had a few explanations of what could have caused it. When I searched the net I found a lot of posts where people were having probl...

Last week I worked up a load that my rifle liked with CFE223 and Sierra 32gr's. The best group was was with 29.6 gr of powder. I didn't measure but all three shots were touching. The range for this powder and the 32gr bullets is 29 to 30.9 grains. The load that the my rifle likes was relatively low....

Can't wait to see it!

Ian: The range was 80 out to about 220 yards. The 1/4 section of pasture doesn't have much cattle in it this year so the grass is getting pretty long in places. There are a few small hills where the grass is short enough to easily see them. Most of the ground squirrels out right now are juveniles. O...

Well I finally fired all my test rounds and found that a load that my rifle likes using some CFE223 that I have. My rifle grouped best with 29.6 gr and the 32gr Sierra. I wanted to see how it would do on something other than paper. The first customers bottom half flew so far I have no idea where it ...

I have shot factory loaded 45's The shoot under 1 MOA in my rifle, but only just. I have never bothered hand loading to try and get better performance from them, as the 39 Sierra's and 40 Bergers shoot great one hole groups out of my rifle. I have only used them to test on paper and have not shot an...
