Finally Found A Load

Went to the range tonight to test my three loads. I settled on 25.1 RL10x. I was trying three different OAL's It's out of my Cooper M21 Varmint I don't have a chrono yet, so I'm not sure on the velocity http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w175/m60g/P1010493.jpg http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w175...

Indian Reservations

Anyone ever hunt on a reservation? Where? and how was it?

I was looking at going to Ft Belknap around Zortmen, MT, or maybe Rosebud in SD, or the Cheyenne River in SD

Re: Cleaning my .204, a laundry list

I use Shooters Choice and Butch's for powder fouling, and I started using KG-12 Copper Remover. Sinclair Bore Guide, and Pro Shot Brass Brushes and Nylon Brushes

I use a Dewey Rod and Pro shot jags with 1 1/4 Round patches from Brownell

Re: Working up a load

I am about to start loading some test batches

Does anyone have a suggestion on where to start for OAL?

My OAL to the lands by the OGIVE is 1.955 with my comparator


Using 39 SBK's

I'm just confused on the starting length
