I'm game... I typically do most of my shooting off hand with this rifle anyway. The only benchrest shooting i do is for load development and this contest.

You did mention one more thing that i forgot to in my last post. And that is trigger, before I even fiddled with it, this gun had the nicest trigger of any of my guns and i lightened it up just a tad more. Now it is borderline dangerous for me to even let anyone else shoot it. It is a cz 527 and the...

When I first bought this rifle I was highly disappointed with it. I tried all kinds of factory ammo and could at the very best shoot 1"-1.5" groups, and with vmax bullets my targets looked like i was patterning a shotgun... So it sat in the cabinet for a couple months until i got a reloadi...

I sent a pic of the measurements to bill k. Center to center it is roughly .230-.235 and outside edge to outside edge is approximately .370-.375. Idk how group size is determined, i just measured the distance between the 2 holes that were farthest apart from each other. That load was 27.9gr of h4895...

Thank you, i have been super busy. I am shooting sporting clays right now, but when i get home I will email bill the pics of the measurements

Ok I will get one both ways, center to center, and outside edge to outside edge when i get off work. I should be home in the next 2hrs or so. I've already been here 12hrs so it shouldn't be too long.

I would, if i knew how that was done haha. I can look into how to score it and whatnot. Basically i reload my own cartridges, hang the target, hit it with the rangefinder, and make it go bang. That is about as much as i know about it. Do you just measure center to center on the farthest spread in th...

Thank you. It always seems to be something for me, last year I didnt get to put a shot on paper bc i ended up working out of state for the entire month after i recieved my target, and this year i only got one range session in and my target gets return to sender'd. Hoping for a miracle to happen for ...

Thank you bill, email has been sent. I only took 3 attempts at it, this group being my 3rd try. The other 2 werent much worse, nothing to complain about for sure, but the 3rd one i think could have been a contender. At least I now know not to wait til the last minute and not to ever trust the post o...

I would at least like to show everyone here how I did bc i am sooo proud of this group that i put on paper, but i have no idea how to post a photo....

so i am super disappointed to announce that the target that i mailed on friday was officially returned to me today... probably the best 5 shot group that i have ever tweaked out of my gun, and it gets returned to me a day after the challenge ends...

Well everyone, its great to see these targets, and hear that everyone had fun regardless of results. my story is a bit lackluster, i received my target in the mail and started prepping brass for the challenge when the phone rang, boss man said i need you to help me out here, i have 110 bathrooms in ...

Great to hear, i did hear that the 40's and above were pretty much out of the question for my gun but i heard that sierra left that 1 grain off for a reason. i have only shot flat based bullets so far, but the noslers i just bought are boat-tailed, guna get some of those flying before my target gets...

Hello all, My name is Dave, i am 32yrs old, fairly new to the forum, and fairly new to reloading, but not at all new to shooting. I shoot sporting clays all summer and some trap too. I am also an avid hunter of deer, coyote, fox, groundhogs, squirrels, rabbits, etc. I currently own a Marlin 25n micr...

Oh, and i have some Sierra Blitzking 39's ordered, i heard they were the absolute best shooting bullets for the .204 Ruger. I just hope that my 1:12 twist will stabilize them...
