Any word on when the new Cooper Triggers are going to be available? I remember hearing around Christmas

It is a .204 Cooper

darn, 83 views and no other ideas?

Help a guy out here

I was shooting Sage Rats in OR last week. I was using 39 SBK's 25.1 RL-10x Hornady, Nosler , Winchester Cases Rem 7.5 Primers Every so often, I would fire a shot or two, and they would hit about 50-75 yards in front of me. Then I could shoot for a while, and I would get a crazy flyer all of a sudden...

Hey, I made it back :D My dad and I had a good time. He didn't do any shooting, just a lot of spotting I shot about 200 Ground Squirrels in 2 Days of shooting :D I can't believe how cannabilistic they are. As fast as I could pile em' up, the little bastards were out chowing down on their friends :eek:

Really, we went last year mid-July, and tore them up. We shot form 8 to Noon, then about 1:30 to 5:00. The guys place we hunt on is getting cut and bailed next week.

Heading to Christmas Valley/Ft Rock, OR on the 8th of July. Going to try out the new Cooper. Will update later

I use KG12 for copper removal.

Buy the way, about how many rounds do you all shoot before copper becomes an issue. I think I'm over cleaning

I should have said, that it will be for PDogs, Squirrels off a bench

What is the lightest pull weight you have ever used? How did you like it? I would like to feel some triggers in the 6 to 10 oz range to see what it feels like. I feel that my trigger now is still too heavy for my taste. It's about 2# I'm really looking forward to the new Cooper Triggers this Christmas

As soon as the 204 came out, and I read up on the ballistics, I knew I had to have one

My experience mirrors what Mike said above. Environmental conditons will dictate the 204's maximum effective range....usually right about the 500 yard mark as previously stated. If you plan to shoot greater distances, there's much better cartridges available. The 204 Ruger is excellent for what it ...

I guess I should have stated, not so much the killing power, but when the bullet will start to get squirrely

What do you all think the realistic max range of this caliber is?

I just got back from the range today, where I was Chronographing my loads. I shot 30 rds and this is what I came up with. 25.1 RL-10x 39 SBK Rem 7 1/2 Hornady Case Ogive: 1.860 COAL: 2.335 My average Velocity was 3931 FPS :eek: That is 200 FPS more than the Sierra load manual states for this load.
