6MM Remington, Shoot 52 gr H380, 55gr Nosler BT seconds, bugeye groups at 100!!

My hvy barrel 204 is a Shaw, shoots bug eye groups all day!!

Have a 17 Rem that is a very good shooter! 1-9 T Thought the 30 gr Bergers would be a good long range bullet for groundhogs! Started load workup, bullets weren't getting to the target!! Berger advised twist would need to be 1-7 to stabilize the 30 gr!! Scraped that idea!! That said, all 3 of my 204'...

hunter--have 2- 204's, Kimber bolt and AR upper both barrels are 1-12 twist, both shoot bugeye groups at 100 yrds with the 39 gr Sierra BT!! These loads have been with the RL15 powder! I have since switched to H335 due to RL15 bridging in the Dillon powder die assy. These new loads shoot just as wel...

Might check RCBS

Have shot several powders but RL 15 does very well, but will not flow through my Dillon easly so have gone to a ball powder, not sure which H335 or 844, maybe BLC-2 would need to check my notes! In testing loads in my 1st 204 I shot 2230, 4895, RL-15, 844, BLC-2, H335 worse group was 3/4 inch! Have ...

My Savage varmint shoots the Hornady factory load of 40 gr Vmax into a clover leaf group at 100!!

Yep hornady 32 grain is where id start with 1 in 12 twist.40 grain is tad heavy for it but dont discount it I am wondering where the info about 40grs not liking 1-12 twist barrels comes from?? I have shot them on paper with all 3 of my 1-12 twist barrels and all 3 shoot a ragged hole at 100 yrds! T...

PSA has complete lowers for ]$160

Anytime you change primers you need to revisit the accuracy of your load!! Primer changes will effect the load!!

Have shot very few Nosler and Vmax, started with the 39 gr Sierra and have had no reason to change! Mostly groundhogs and prairie dogs! They do not exit the groundhogs!! You know the results on prairie dogs!! :>)

Having good success with RL 15 and really like H335 through the Dillon with super accuracy!!

I have three different rifles in 204 all have the 12 twist and all three shoot the same loads using 4895, H335,RL15, and mil 844!! group sizes range from .437 to .289!! Bullets are Sierras 39 gr, 40 gr Vmax!! Am very hard pressed to believe that the 12 twist is too slow for this weight bullets!! My ...
