Thanks for the answer, I haven't enquired any further about the twist etc, but I'd like a 204 which will shoot well with heavier bullets as they are easier to get here, as it looks like the 39 sbk's are not available anymore.. Cheers, Bob

That's what it shows and says on the 'for sale'. I didn't know Sierra made 50 gr .204 bullets..

Hello Guys, as above there is a new one for sale in New Zealand for about $NZ 3500. It , from the factory shoots really well with 50 gr Blitzkings and benchmark. The firearm looks beautiful, but I can't really justify buying it (I can afford it). I have a Kimber 204R and it shoots very very well, bu...

To add to this post, I have a suppressor from the same manufacturer as geoff23. Difference being mine is the end barrel type. Made of stainless, screws on the end of the barrel. Barrel is standard length but was threaded about 3/4 inch when I had it fitted. At the same time I had the rifle "acc...

Thanks fellas. Guy M, I have an old Model 25 Remington in 25-20WCF that I inherited from my Dad some time ago, and 4 rounds. 4. I recently visited a Gunshop here who had a few packets of New ammo in this caliber. I bought 5 packets thinking I can reload once fired. I don't plan on using this rifle a...

I'll try and keep this short.. A little pre-amble.. I've a Kimber Varmint in 204R, and have tried several factory loads. When I first bought this rifle, I found that factory 32's didn't do well eg 5 shot grouping in around an inch and half. (Hornady). factory 40 and 45 - again Hornady seemed more co...

Cracker, is that with Ice or without..

What state/country? I live here in New Zealand, on the Coromandel Peninsula. Our town is a holiday centre, but supports forestry,farming and fishing. Being summer now,the gamefishing is starting to hot up, but getting out with the .204 (to me) is just as much fun. The only problem is my 55y.o. body...

Last Friday a friend and I went out to a local farm to help out the farmer, who had been in touch to get rid of a few turkeys. He also wanted some peacocks tidied up also, as with the turkeys, were getting too numerous. Didn't have to ask twice!! I took both my CZ17hmr and Kimber 204R. my buddy John...

I've used (or tested) 33gr Calhoon made by HSM. I've no idea of the velocity or any other ballistic info, so may not be of much help. The HSM loading uses the "33gr Calhoon DBL HP -Double Hollow Point" (off the box). Now my .204 doesn't really like any of the factory 32gr loads, and I don'...

Yeah, you SI's have some good country down there..We North Islanders (at least Me and friends in the Waikato) have to put up with rabbits and hares in undeveloped areas like this.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/Gmetme1/_0108.jpg The only problem we have is that sometimes Fallow get in the w...

Rats! the other 2 pics didn't get there....

My Kimber Varmint .204. Pics not to good sorry. I had a top gunsmith go over it before I'd even fired this gun; lightened trigger, better bedding/floating etc. and really can't complain about anything...apart from not having enough shooting time! The suppressor cuts the sound to at least half, and a...

The fun aspect of it is definately a part of it. I finally have space to dedicate a room, with a cleaning bench at the one end, and a reloading bench at the other, to more enjoy the sport/pastime/obsession; call it what you will :D .There's still plenty of room betwwen so I'll be able to rig/re-rig ...

Skipper,( and all) that puts things in perspective, thanks. Looks like I'll have to go on and do it...but that also means I'll have to shoot more..oh darn :D :D . I also have an old Remington Model 25 slide action in 25-20WCF I inherited from my Dad,and hope to get some brass and projectiles for thi...
