Re: .204 Ruger Hornady/Fiocchi brass approximately 1190 pieces once fired

Glocksig - Due to the VERY LOW activity recently experienced on this site, I was going to suggest that you might be wise to list this on another more frequented location. However, I thought I'd just check another site for your listing first. After looking, I see you also have this same ad on Accurat...

Re: Water jug in slow mo- .204

Hey Rick - Yes, I've found I too am reaching for my Annie more and more frequently, especially when I'm in a target rich environment and when the targets of opportunity are in the +/- 200-yard range. :yeah: But when looking for those "explosive effects" it's hard to beat the 204R when laun...

Re: Water jug in slow mo- .204

I too occasionally call on my Anschutz 1517 17 HMR to dispatch various critters and as noted by others previously, when the wind cooperates, it is more than capable of reaching out to over 200 yards on occasion. Throughout SW MT, there is a small rodent native to the Great Plains called the Richards...

Re: Early Spring Action - WY

Hey Rick, Yes indeed, your keen eyes 👀 did pick up the "play toy" that travelled back to MT with me. As you might imagine there is a story about how it came to rest on the BRP table. While I was doing a little "dust control" (aka draining the radiator 😉) behind my buddy's pickup,...

Early Spring Action - WY

Greetings and salutations to my fellow 204R enthusiasts! Having recently returned from my semi-annual trip into WY, I thought I'd share some of the highlights with those on this forum. A more detailed discussion can be found on the Accurate Shooter site under the Varminter and Hunting topic tab. How...

Re: Water jug in slow mo- .204

Tom, Thanks for sharing the video. It clearly demonstrates the hydraulic explosion when the fast-moving diminutive 204 Ruger cartridge meets a water filled vessel. Much like the same result when the same cartridge impacts the soft tissue of a varmint...red mist! :eek: There is a YT channel (Precisio...

Re: Still love my Ruger American .204

Hi Tom!

I'd say the targets of opportunity in your neck of the woods are in for a serious case of lead poisoning. :hail: What weight bullet are you shooting and what velocity are you getting?

Re: 204 upper

Hi Greg! I trust Rick was able to provide you with some help in recovering the lost 204 upper. Without prying into the details surrounding your recent divorce settlement, what in the world would your wife want with a 204 upper? It seems very curious to me. :? Yes, I can seethe typical reasons for se...

Re: Early Rock Chuck

Bill - Yes indeed! Perhaps a harbinger of things to come? :chin: While I have yet to see any sort of small furry creatures (Richardson's Ground Squirrels, Prairie Dogs, Rock Chucks, etc.) scurrying about, with the warm temperatures we have experienced this winter in SW MT, it probably won't be too m...

Re: New custom in my hands.

CG - Very, very nice!! :wtg: There is little doubt in the fact you certainly know how to get the job done! As you know, the fur on a coyote taken in the winter is the best it will be all year, and it is too bad the market for these pelts has taken a nosedive lately. Save the best of the best and whe...

Re: New custom in my hands.

CG - Thanks for the photos. You have an eye for taking some nice high-quality pictures! :D The fur on those coyotes looks prime! Is the fur price in Canada any better than that in the US? The last picture is epic and should grace a hunting magazine. :wtg:

Re: New custom in my hands.

CG - It sure looks like your new build got the job done! Congratulations! Judging by where the coyote dropped, the 204 must have stopped him/her in its tracks. Either that or the picture was staged. In either case, it's nice to see your new rifle was up to the task. One other observation, the coyote...

I also trust Jolly Old St Nick found his way to the homes of my fellow 204R enthusiasts and blessed you all with a joyous Christmas. As the days grow longer and we mark off days on the calendar, it won't be long before we are once again pursuing all manner of furry creatures. Till then have a safe a...

Re: Anyone Home?

CoyoteGettr-

I'd echo Rick's comment...impressive indeed! That is a DANDY!! 👍 I hope a mount of sorts (shoulder? European?) finds its way to the wall of your abode (or man cave) as it certainly deserves a space to be displayed and enjoyed. Thanks for sharing and congratulations!
