Sometimes it just all comes together......

Post by Rick in Oregon »

I love it when things come together. After waiting nine months for rat season to fire up here again and have the little buggers emerge from their winter holes, I had installed Jard 10 oz triggers in my Cooper varmint rifles, including "Wicked Wanda", my Cooper M21 MTV in 204. So once set up at the ranch on our favorite little hill that overlooks a target-rich alfalfa field, I set out my field target at 100 yards, grabbed a box of my Cooper 204 field loads from the .50 cal ammo can, and checked the zero after the trigger work.

After the first shot, one click Left (.25"), then three shots to verify POI......I was not disappointed:

Still not BR accuracy by any means, but it appears "Wanda" is shooting MOR...."Minute Of Rat" for this trip! :lol:
(Note: The above load is acknowledged a tad over book max. It is a safe field load in my rifle, but DO NOT DUPLICATE without working up in YOUR rifle...please.)

The other two shot almost as good.....especially my other .20, the little 20VT.....wow, what a performer in the rat patch...really. I'll post the adventure when I get my post-shoot brass/loading chores caught up for the next trip coming up. Gads, I love this time of year! :eek:
