I told myself a few years ago I was going to to work on getting invited to the EORFS annual meeting. You guys are having waaay too much fun to keep it to yourselves!

I can barely see my bench! 338 LM to .17 Hornet. It’s nice not having to be in a rush. Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

RL7 has its place, but not in a .204 or any case larger.

chieffel s has not been online here for a week now. He has not checked his post since putting it up here, so must not have any real interest in the forum or his rifle and potential loads. Unless he comes back on, it appears to be a waste of time answering with quality answers for someone who really...

Big life change coming up for me soon in 2021. I'll have plenty of free time for brass prep, loading and a bit of traveling. Who knows, I might even get far enough west for you guys to school me on how my Cooper should really be shot. Happy New Year to everyone!

I had a TC Icon Precision Hunter. Heavy laminated stock, heavy fluted 1-10" barrel. Shot lights out with everything except 40 gr Noslers. It didn't like to shoot right after a thorough cleaning but after it fouled it was great. Good luck with your purchase and welcome to the club!!! (and be sur...

Went to visit my family in South Dakota over the 4th. Took the CZ 204 and the 20 VT. Roll up to our favorite dogtown about 20 minutes from my parents place. Hardly any dogs. Looks more like a pasture than a prairie dog town. We counted over a dozen burrowing owls. Don't know what caused their popula...

i'll play!

Thanks for the hard work RIO! A little "captcha" would stop the bots. Go out and terminate something small and furry with extreme prejudice.

I have four boxes of the same thing sold by MidwayUSA as "DogTown". I loaded some test rounds with Benchmark for my CZ. I'll shoot them tomorrow and see what happens. Heading back to see my family in South Dakota over the 4th, may have another bullet to accompany the SBK's.

I bought some of that bagged brass a while back. It's Nosler seconds. That's why it's bagged and not in Nosler boxes. Lengths and weights are all over the place. It's not the "sorted, trimmed, ready to load" high quality brass you get when you buy "firsts". I've been shooting it ...

I have an HST. It's the same as yours. Shims just stop it close to where your zero is, not the marks on the scope.

If money was no object, then Cooper or Sako. Mine is a CZ527 varmint with Vortex glass. Reasonable price, for me, and shoots fantastic. Rick in Oregon pointed me in that direction. It was solid advice. Best of luck with whatever you end up with, this is a FUN caliber to shoot!

Don't have that rifle but I found this:
TAC 32 SIE BK Start:26.0 3,700 FPS max:28.5 4,100 FPS 58,100
TAC 40 HDY V-Max Start:24.0 3,300 FPS max:27.0 3,680 FPS 56,000

** USE THESE LOADS WITH CAUTION!! *** Reduce starting loads by 10% and work up safely.

Looks like a fun afternoon! It never seems too cold when you're shooting accurate rifles with friends.

If you get it and it's not accurate, rebarrel it and turn it into a 20 VT.
