My rifle likes the 40 gr. Berger, 25.1 gr. RE-10X, CCI BR-4 Primer and WW, Rem or HDY case. You may have to play with different loads to find out what yours likes the best. That is the most fun part.

For that price I can't see not trying it. There are coyotes right behind my subdivision that serenade us all the time. The kids come running in the house when they start and I go running outside. I could try it on them to see their reaction.

I looked at a Foxpro the other day with the remote control. Paying $399 just seems a little steep for something like that. I know that some of the members here have sprung for one but would really like to hear how they compare with say a Primos or some other call. How well do they stand up in the fi...

I still think that a Krieger or Lilja would also be other excellent choic...

Find a reputable gunsmith and ask their opinion on barrels, triggers, bases, rings and reamers. If they are a competitive shooter they will have some good suggestions on which combinations work the best. Then get your orders out because the wait for some of the parts can be pretty long. Be careful a...

You could mount your press to an old, thick plastic chopping board or piece of lumber. Then you could use C-clamps to attach it to your work bench when you are ready to reload.

Welcome aboard Misty. There are a few of us ex-military types on this 204um. There are even a few of us shooting a Remington, even though this forum seems to lean towards Savages and such. Good to have you here. Got any pictures of your rifle???

Hello All I am 51 years old and work for the local power company. I lived on my 45' sailboat for 10 years and picked up the nickname. I recently remarried and gained 3 kids on top of the 3 I already had. I got interested in the 204 because of the velocity, trajectory, wind resistance and low recoil ...
