Shoot and scrub break in load
Tonight I loaded up a dozen rounds to I could begin barrel break in. I went with 27.5 Gr Benchmark and some 32 gr Vmax bullets. I had the end of a can of Benchmark and a goodly amount of the v max so I thought it would be a place to start. Hopefull I can get after it this week and see what the new rifle will do

If you have some 35 gr. Berger bullets laying around, you might try some with that Benchmark. That's my custom build 204's favorite load.

Re: Shoot and scrub break in load
I do have some 35 gr Bergers, thats my go to hunting load in my CZ527 American
204 (using 8208xbr) I just thought this would be a good way to use up my 32 gr V maxes I have laying around (they came with the first rifle)
Has anyone ever used the 39 gr Vmax for coyotes? What was your experience? I have a chance to aquire some. I have some of the 39 gr Sierra, but they have been hit and miss to buy.
