How about differences in barrel contour?

Other than the buick vents, is there any other difference between a cooper m21 varminter and a m21 Montana varminter ?

Okay great white. I will keep your name at the top the list.
Kevin, don't take my post too seriously as I was just trying to add a little humor in their. only about 60 days to go and those little buggers will be out running around again. See you then.

:D 20 years ago a guy could go buy a new 22 rifle, a carton of shells, put a scope on it, get it sighted in and go out and kill squirrels all day. Now days that doesn’t seem to be the case. I got into small caliber high-powered rifles that doesn’t seem to shoot worth a darn. I bought all the popular...

does your 2230 seem to react to a hot barrel in any way? I'm a little confused by your question. I was assuming you are asking about a powder that was insensitive to changes in air temperature. Your later comment indicated you are looking for a powder that would maintain accuracy after the barrel g...

Mornin JD: of the seven powder you listed, the only two that I use extensively is 8208 Xbr and H 4198. To quote Hodgdon reloading manual- 8208 "totally insensitive to changes in temperature". H 4198 "elements were added to make it extremely insensitive to hot/cold temperature"can...

Thanks guys. I’ve been doing a little research and find the price to be from $400 to over $1200 depending on the material it’s made from. You are right about $200 for the tax stamp. I think I just lumped that together with the attorney fees of $100 dollars to set up a trust. Of the research that I h...

Mornin Travelor. For a good answer to your question, go up to the top right of this page where it says "advanced search" and type in zombie.
Some real good posts on this subject.

I use IMR 8208 XBR in my 204. shoots in the 3's and 4's .I worked up a load last January when a warm day 15 above.Shot the same on warm spring days in the squirrel field. It's not suppose to be temp sensitive. Dan

Another good reason to have reloading manuals from different bullet and powder mfgs.

I shot 600 rounds of the varmageddon FBHP through my 204 and 20 vt last year and was very pleased with their performance.

The Doc says my hearing protection just ain’t cuttin it. I am now in the market for a silencer (suppressor) for my 204. What would you guys recommend. Brand etc. what is the cost of a good one. Our local smith only wants $35.00 to thread the barrel and gave me a price of $ 600.00 for a silencer and ...

What kind of lube do you use for installing a barrel. I have used the silver anti seize for nuts and bolts but sure if it's ok for barrels .
Thanks Dan

Hey guys. How would a Lilja 9 twist 4 groove varmint contour work for a 17 Mach IV ?

What effect does the number of grooves in a barrel have. Ie.3 groove vs 4 groove vs 6 groove etc.
