Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

I appreciate the invitation BUT it might seem a conflict of interest. I'd be glad to post a target though.

Speaking of targets, I mailed out 42 targets today. That's pretty good! Seems like people are interested in competition. Or maybe its just the fun aspect??

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

39s SBKs stabilize well in most 204 Rifles. Now from 40gr and above it's a crap shoot. 45 grain bullets will probably not stabilize in a 1:12 twist. At least that what history has revealed. I, for one, am sold on the 35 gr Berger flat base bullets and Benchmark powder. The best groups my Stolle Pand...

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

I took the targets out behind my house this morning and hung them 100 yards away. I used my Leupold RX-1200 TBRW with DNA to verify the range. This particular range finder has a 6X magnification. I was able to make out the 2.5" bulls-eye but not much detail. Then I got out my lowest magnificati...

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

We have 22 registered shooters on the first day. I may need to ramp up target production. This thing could go viral.

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

To answer the question about classifications, we have tried that in the past. The problem is getting enough people registered in each class to make it competitive. We have never thought of classifications by scope magnification. That would seem to compound the problem. A classification for each type...

Re: 204um Five Shot Challenge

At the end of this poll there will be an official announcement and registration details. Last Challenge there were many new people wanting last minute memberships so they could participate and quite a few password resets. Poor Tarrin was doing double duty. So, leaving this poll running for a week gi...

Re: 204um Five Shot Challenge

I found these from the 2008 204um Five Shot Challenge. Hawkeye has the reigning, all-time small group size with .234. If memory serves me right he won with a factory Savage Model 12 Long Range Precision Varminter. Gotta love that 204 Ruger. Hawkeye Joe - 0.234 jo191145 - 0.315 KVW - 0.365 204Shooter...

Re: 204um Five Shot Challenge

Here are the winners from the 2015 204um Five Shot Challenge. I wonder if anyone will beat GJS's .264 this time??? It's funny how difficult it is whenever the pressure is on. Get your range gear dusted off. Top ten details: 2015 204 Five Shot Challenge 1) .264 GJS 2) .293 bluestar48 3) .321 smgchand...
