Re: 204 Ruger, which factory rifle?

My 204's both like Alliant RL 10X. That's a staple at my house, not a second choice.

I didn't mention this, but CLR will remove the carbon ring. Don't ever publicly announce that you used it. It will void some manufacturers warranties. Never known it to do any damage to my rifles. Gotta let it soak!!

Re: bench rests

I like my rifle to bee free to slide in the bag. Seems to make it track better that way. You might try using some felt cloth to see how your rifle reacts. If it's like mine you may want to glue it to the rear bag like this.

Re: Help with my Contender

I'm sure you already know this, but write down how many clicks you have to dial in when changing distances so you create a come-up chart.

Then you can upload it directly into your post as detailed at the top of this thread. It's free versus paying a hosting site. Plus...

Forgot to mention, Pacific Tool & Gauge can build you a reamer that will allow you to reach the lands. Just shout when you're ready and we can help with the Least Cost Route.

Those four powders, I have used them all. I used a lot of CCI 400 primers for years with no issues.

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024

Food for thought. We are in the preparation stage of a shooting competition. We have the latest in gun technology, scopes that can reach out for very long distances. We have all the equipment a person could ask for. Here's a picture of a man, a 30-06 bolt action rifle with iron sights and his 1,000 ...
