Re: 204 ruger left handed rifle?

Have you looked at T/C. I have a Dimension that shoots lights out and I have really enjoy'd it. Dont know if that one is still available but they have a couple others that shoot sub MOA. I'm a lefty also! Plus if you want to change calibers just buy another barrel and not a whole new rifle.

Re: TO CRIMP AR 204 AMMO OR NOT???

I fooled around with crimping a while back with the Lee factory crimper. The reason I did was because I noticed several different factory ammo was crimped. Some like the Rem. accu tips have a heavy (bullet deforming) crimp in them and they shoot lights out. Was thinking this must be for a more consi...

Re: What bullets do you all like for coyotes

Ramos: I agree with you the beregers are very predictable and do a very very good job."My first choice". I made up a couple of pet loads one with 39 SBK's and one with the Bergers. My sbk's are shooting a little faster (3441)with 26.1 gr's IMR 4064. The Bergers are @ (3284) with 26.3 gr's ...

What bullets do you all like for coyotes

Have been doing some coyote hunting this summer with the 204. I have two loads that are shooting very well, one using Berger 35 gr. and the other using the 39 gr. Sierras. Both are working great. I do prefer the Bergers though as they really hit hard and usually pass thru the coyote even when you hi...

Re: FLIERS ????

Thanks guys for all your replies. My computer has been down for a couple of days and this is the first chance I've had to get back. I'll be ordering me some JB paste and with a little luck I can get them alien critters outta here for good. On a side note: I always thought that with the T/C Dimension...

Re: FLIERS ????

Thanks Darkker: I was wondering about that as you might have noticed in my post. It seems like I can never really get the bore clean. Every time I think I have it, I try one more solvent just to see and the patch's come out black as coal again, even if I only start to finish up with gun oil, comes o...

FLIERS ????

OK guys what gives with this little 204 and getting a consistent reload. I have been reloading this puppy for about a year now, every time I get a shooter, the next trip out with that exact same load, well not so good. Get them stinking fliers. Maybe three in one hole and one 1/2" out???? I alr...
