Re: lets talk powder.....
I've used Vithavuori N-130 and N-133. Started using it because of rave reviews over on 6mmbr.com. I forgot to take into account that they were shooting 6mm BR or PPC. My rifle was 204R. Got much better results with Benchmark or Reloader 10X.

Re: The plunk test
It's funny that you say you'll never own another Remington. The Remington 700 action is one of the most reliable actions I have ever known. I still have several. Of course they are at least 20 years old. Remington actions were used by the military extensively years ago. The good ole farm boys from t...

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024
Sorry I expressed my thoughts on your plan for a competition. Have what you and all the forum members agree on. I'm out of it. I sorry you feel that way. Please, reconsider. You had a valid point. The groups will be the tale of the tape. I'm sure we will all walk away with valuable experiences.

Re: The plunk test
Ya' know TK you sound a lot like me. The Marines spoiled me. I had the best of what Uncle Sam had to offer. I learned all about rifles and pistols while under the guidance of many top notch Subject Matter Experts. So when I buy a gun, especially pistols that I might depend on. I do the ultimate test...

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024
Okay, where's Varmint Shooter? I have thought it over and decided that, to make it fair, I'll shoot this old Remington XR 100. Box stock with a Leupold VX III 3.5-10 x 50mm scope. I may add a Harris bipod and use a rear bag. The thumb hole, rounded forearm stock on this thing doesn't lend itself to ...

Re: I had an unwelcome visitor last night...
Sounds like a job for Forced Amphibious Recon Marine with a night scope. Just stay in the house!!

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024
I disagree with your plan entirely. your just allowing anyone with a custom rifle to, regardless of caliber, to enter. You, yourself, are planning on using a custom built rifle even if it is a 204R. Go back to your first competition, one official 5 shot target, standard 204R, one official scorer, h...

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024
I'll have to admit that I'm also working on a new 20 caliber. Mostly waiting for parts is what I'm doing. Like my last build, I think this new rifle will be just the ticket for competition. This one will be an F Class style rather than a dedicated Bench Rest rifle. Only problem is that it probably w...

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024
The only caveat I would offer is winter still has a firm grip on SW MT so my participation might be limited to those times when the white stuff allows me the opportunity to get to my preferred range. Never fear MTPaul, we usually wait till spring has sprung. We missed last year, but I'm ready to jo...

Re: A new hope-
How does that thing reference the case so ALL are the same length? A rod down the middle of the case or something?? Inquiring minds, ya' know. Kinda looks like the old pencil sharpener we had in grade school. Keep feeding and you would come up with a pencil nub.

Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024
*** Hear ye, hear ye! *** Anyone up for a competition?? I get the feeling that a Postal Match might be a really great way to bolster board participation. This year I was thinking of offering a competition that is not caliber specific. The center of a hole is the center of a hole, regardless of the ...

Re: Quiet as a Mouse Around Here
Years back 204 Ruger.com could also be reached through a domain named RugerHunting.Com. That domain is up for sale if anyone is interested. I have no interest in owning or managing a forum. Sorry, but it just doesn't interest me. I do what I do out of a respect for Brian and his son Tarrin. If you a...
