Go/No Go/Finish Reamer

I'm seeing if anyone is interested in renting or loaning me a set of go/no go gauges for a 204 Ruger. I also need just the finish reamer as I have the barrel already short chambered. I ran across a new 1-10 twist barrel that I think will stabilize some heavier bullets I found. I would be interested ...

What a surprise!

I joined 204R about a year ago for two reasons. The first was to interact with other users who enjoy the 204R caliber and the second was to learn from those with more knowledge than I had. I think we probably all join for similar reasons. A year later, I'm still learning about this great little cart...

WTB 204 BRASS.......NEW OR USED

Hello fellas,

I need some help finding brass. I may be a bit late to the show but I've been invited on a Prairie Dog hunt in a few weeks and I need to stuff some pills in the brass and get ready. Any help is much appreciated!

Shoot Straight!

Re: NEED SPEER BULLETS FOR TESTING (FOUND)

Yes, These groups are good enough for the prairie dog towns. I also tested the Berger 35g FB and it was equally as accurate but I think the Speers reach closer to my lands and I like that about the ogive and length over the Bergers.

Re: NEED SPEER BULLETS FOR TESTING (FOUND)

Bill, Just an update on the Speer bullets I got from you: I tested 5 loads in my Dakota Predator .204 w 1-11 twist and followed the manuals for minimum and maximum loads. I used Rem 7.5 primers and IMR 8208 XBR powder for all loads. All groups were 5 shot groups @100yrds and none of them grouped poo...

Re: WTB leupold 8.5-25x40mm Side Focus

So here I am admitting I was wrong about the side focus issue. After being challenged to "send pictures" I marched downstairs to the man cave with phone in hand to retrieve the two rifles these scopes are mounted on. Much to my surprise I moved eight rifles before getting to the two in que...

Re: WTB leupold 8.5-25x40mm Side Focus

So I guess I will just forget that I actually own two of the 8.5-25 x 40mm scopes that you are telling me are a mystical unicorn. Ok. I guess I've been seeing things for the last 15 years that I've owned them. Who'da thunk it???

Rick, Sorry for the delay in responding. Thanks for the suggestions. I actually checked out the saubier.com last night; applied for an account and will be expanding the search to Accurant Shooter.com tomorrow. I love these scopes, have six of them mounted on various varmint rigs and they have been v...

Re: 20 moa picatinny rail

Jacob. If those are the ranges you are shooting there is absolutely no need to have 20 minutes of elevation with your rings and bases. It will actually be a detriment to you because it will take most of your vertical and some of your horizontal travel away from your scope if you are setting your POI...

Leupold 8.5-25x40 Side Focus

I am looking for a Leupold 8.5-25 x 40mm Side Focus. I do not care what reticle it has in it but it must be a side focus and it must be a 40mm objective. Contact me if you have one to part with.


Happy Shooting!
