I have had great luck with Benchmark powder in all my small caliber rifles. I also use SBK 32 and 39 grain and Nosler 40 grain BT. So give the Benchmark a try. In my Cooper 204 I use 28.0 Benchmark with a 32 grain SBK to give me a .19" group at 100 yds at 4055 fps. In my CZ 527 Varmint 204 I us...

I agree. Each gun will shoot differently based on floating, contact, and the barrel itself. I have a CZ 527 but in Varmint. It had a great 5 shot group in a cold barrel. After that, it would take a 1/4" group and make it a 1" group. So I used a dowel rod and some 220 grit sandpaper to EVEN...

Hey guys. Just throwin out an FYI for everyone. Midway has a clearance sale on the 500 pack of the Sierra 32 Blitzkings from $86. They only have 8 or so left. So if you guys like em and you need em, here's the chance!

Mine is a touch stiff on the lift (solid feeling action). Rest is as smooth as a baby's behind! Gotta love a Cooper! Oh, and like Rick said, PICTURES!!!!

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a Remington 700 Short Action with a 308 bolt face. If anyone has one laying around, please let me know! Thanks!

Well, I switched to a Redding die and so far, I haven't had a problem. Maybe it's just a coincidence though. I'm going to call RCBS in the morning and see if they can offer me a reason/replacement to why this happened.

Ok, here's what I am gettin confused on though. I took one of the pieces of brass that was fired out of the CZ and tried to cycle it in the Cooper. Wouldn't fit (Big surprise). So I played with the sizer die until it did fit. So technically, shouldn't all brass fit then once sized in that die? And w...

I'm attempting to get 1,000 rounds prepped and ready for a PD hunt and I came across a problem. I had purchased some Hornady once fired brass from someone and am F/L resizing it now. Approx 1/15 will not cycle in my Cooper (bolt will not lock down without a TON of force). I haven't tried any of the ...

I am looking into adding a Green Mountain barrel onto my all weather 77/22. After looking at what is available, I realized that Green Mountain no longer makes the .920 bull barrel for the 22LR. They only offer the fluted sporting contour. Now I'm not sure this is a bad thing because I don't really w...

Hey guys!
Just got back in from shooting the new 10/22 build. All the specs are here: http://www.204ruger.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7775

Ray P Well, I have some bulk Federals, CCI Mini Mag's, Eley's, and Wolf Match Extra. So I have somewhat of a variety to try from. The barrel wasn't as tight as I had expected. Don't get me wrong, it didn't just "slide" right in. But I put the receiver in a padded vice and applied some pre...

I finished the 10/22 build (except for a scope). It includes a Green Mountain 20" SS Fluted Bull Barrel, Bell & Carlson Anschutz Thumbhole stock with grey webbing, Volquartsen target hammer and spring, KID scalloped bolt with KID firing pin and extractor, KID bolt buffer, and KID charging h...

Thank you!
The VX-I 2-7x doesn't have an adjustable. But the parallax is set for 60 yards. So if I'm shooting at something that's 25 yards (squirrel, target, etc...) will I have the same problem? Or will I just have to leave it on a smaller magnification like 2 or 4x?

I have been told that variable power scopes are not as consistent as a fixed power scope. However, my buddy and I went out a little while back to my range with his Marlin 22LR. He has a Simmons 3x9 scope on it and we were using Federal ammo. When sighting in at 50 yards on 4x, the group was approxim...

Well, change of plans! I ordered the Green Mountain 20" SS Fluted Target Barrel and I went with the Bell and Carlson Anschultz Thumbhole Black with Grey webbing. I will put pics up as soon as I get it all slapped together. I was going to put a new hammer on as well but the funds are gettin a li...
