Re: First trip of the Year

Took the .204 out with its partner m3500. However this was a 23 yrd job for the 12 ga. Stand only lasted 60 seconds but was a great stand despite 3 ft high grass. Was excited to try the new eotech on the shotgun and it is very nice.

Re: Downsides to the 204 for coyotes

I only shot 32 vmax in the past ans they were great on fur. I always try to stop them between 100-200 yards. I tried the 40 federal Nosler bt and have been shooting them for a year and a half. Impressed so far.

A little video I made.

Re: 204 fur friendly round

Havnt shot a fox but the 40 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip from Federal serve me well. I keep a 12 ga with Hornady Nickle plated BB in it for up close and multiples up close. Try to stop shotgunner at 30-40 and .204 shots 100+. Closer to 150 is best.

Re: extreme range 600 to 1000 yds

Tried to chrony the other day but buddies chrony was being tempermental. Box says 3650fps. The crazy part about reloading is I have most of the stuff but just never get around to it. Once I start I will be addicted. I have a buddy that shoots professionally in FClass and I really need to take advant...

Re: extreme range 600 to 1000 yds

Just playing with factory loads at 400 yrds for now. I have a Sightron 6-24x50 and I agree with a little practice a 400yrd shot can be easily made. The 4 moa line on the scope puts me on target. Using federal 40gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. Gonna try 500 next chance I get. If anyone wants to try it the f...

Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge Winners!!!

I would like to see what my target scored and where I placed. I do this to see if I’m improving. (Can’t get any worse.) If you don’t post them send me a pm. Thanks Skipper. It’s harder to do than hitting a p dog. I would like to see the results also, please. Thx for all the hard work skipper.👍

Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge

Shot 2 targets this morning and things went from from bad to worse. Ran a bore snake through and fired One last 5 shot target. Nothing spectacular but it will be mailed today.🙂 I really wish I wasn’t the procrastinator that I am. 😞🤪
