Pb blocker
i recently read about a product called Pb blocker--their claim is that it reduces the cleaning bench time by 90%. has anyone tried this product and if so what are the pro's and con's of it. all of my guns seem to accumulate copper in varying amounts and i would like to avoid that as much as possible.

Re: 204 Ruger Accuracy Concerns / Problems
I own a ruger American in .243 cal.--the first box of factory ammo after sighting in I put 4 rounds at 100 yd in a group that measured .4l4--for me that was pretty good. the second box of shells gave me a group that measured just over .310 at 100 yards. I am not too crazy about their trigger but for...

Re: Seating depth/jump?
when you load a .204 out to the lands you will have trouble spilling the powder into the chamber. if it still shoots good with out being out to the lands, what the heck. shoot and smile.

Re: Best powder for the .204 Ruger???
one of my best .204 loads is 30.6 grains of cfe-223 with 35 grain berger bullets--right at 4,000 fps and extremely accurate. I always get best results with rem 7 1/2 primers

Re: X-terminator powder NEEDED!!!
you might call red rock sporting goods of miles city, mt. that powder comes from western powder co of miles city. if it is available I would think they would know about it. I don't think they can ship powder from their store but they should know if it is being sold someplace call 800367-5560/406-232...

Re: Temperature sensative 204 ruger powder Help!
hodgdons have just come out with a new line of IMR powders that they claim are indifferent to temp changes. IMR 4166 is recommended for the smaller calibers-.204, .223, .22-250 etc. I just shot a .363 3 shot group with a savage mod. 12. they claim good velocity but as it is winter here I have a hard...

Re: Safely extrapolating load data
I assume you mean 35 grain bergers. I use 30.9 grains of cfe-223 and rem 71/2 primers. my savage 12 with a 26 inch bbl has shot a group at .185" @ 100 yd.

Re: 223 bullet and powder choices
H-335 powder should use mag primers for best ignition.

Re: What is wrong with these primers? Picture
I had the same problem with rem 6 1/2 primers it looked like I would end up with a pierced primer--I did not have one. I went to a Remington website and it stated that the 6 1/2 primers have a soft cup and were made initially for the .22 hornet round. I have since tried some loaded rounds in an ar-1...

Re: 204 range day
I think with that short barrel you lose at least 30fps for every inch of barrel. 9" less length will probably cost you close to 300fps velocity. makes seem to me that you are getting pretty good velocity from that length barrel.
