Bill, Speer bullets just arrived. Not sure how many are there but you appear to be a generous man.

Thank you sir! Let me know when yours reach you. I'm interested to see how many days it takes for us to swap things.

Happy Shooting,
Hoot

Will do Hoot. Let me know how they work for you. Bill K

Bill, Just an update on the Speer bullets I got from you:
I tested 5 loads in my Dakota Predator .204 w 1-11 twist and followed the manuals for minimum and maximum loads. I used Rem 7.5 primers and IMR 8208 XBR powder for all loads. All groups were 5 shot groups @100yrds and none of them grouped poorly. As a matter a fact, they all shot under 3/4 of an inch in this rifle. The sweet spot for me seemed to be @ 27.0 grains. Just thought you would want to know.
26 gr=.645
26.5=.434
27.0=.326
27.0=.488
27.5=.523

Hoot: Not bad at all. Now are you going to stick with them, along with others that work well ? I probably would but will be sticking to a lot of the Nosler lead free, due to my ignorant and stupid government officials making non-lead bullets only for animal/critter shooting after July-2019. Bill K

Yes, These groups are good enough for the prairie dog towns. I also tested the Berger 35g FB and it was equally as accurate but I think the Speers reach closer to my lands and I like that about the ogive and length over the Bergers.
