Re: This concerns all gun owners

That's the article I was talking about. I think everyone on this forum should read the article. Be informed when it concerns our rights as gun owners. Think about joining the NRA, or at least join your local chapter of the NRA. Here in Kalifornia it is called the CRPA, California Rifle and Pistol As...

This concerns all gun owners

I just got an email from Mid South Shooters including 20 of the 50 States in the United States. This is very crucial to all of us with concealed carry permits. If I can find a way to post a copy of this email, I will try and post on the forum. Unfortunately, I am not very computer savvy! :mad: Or if...

Re: Tell us about yourself...

New to the 204 & also this forum. Just purchased a stainless Howa varminter with 24" tube. Will only have the rifle home in 4-6 months thanks to our draconian license laws in South Africa, but will lurk here & soak up all the info I can in the interim. Welcome to all newcomers! :D Redh...

Re: Mini 14

You need to keep in mind that anything you are trying to sell, is only worth what someone is willing to pay you for it. This includes rifles no matter what has been done to them. I have to agree with Bill, the price you are asking is kinda high. Just my 2 cents.

Re: Red Fox with 32gr Vmax

The Hornady Z-Max bullet is just a V-Max with a different color tip. I use both on our belding squirrels, with really good results. Really explosive results with both bullets. Keep in mind our beldings are a little smaller than a ground squirrel. Buy one or the other, depending on witch one is the c...

Re: Morning HMR Rock Chuck Walkabout

Thanks for sharing Rick. I may have to grab my HMR, to get out and try to score on some digger squarrels. I actually have a permit to shoot out my vehicle, because of my disability, and I no some of my old haunts will be loaded with targets. I'm gettin real tired of being in the house so much. And t...

Re: M-77 Hawkeye Predator range results

When I am testing loads, I always shoot 5 shot groups. In my opinion 3 shot and 4 shot groups do not tell the whole story about the loads I am testing. I can easily shoot really good groups with 3 shots, or even 4 shots, but that fifth shot tells the real story for me, about the load I am fine tunin...

Re: Neck size or full length.

,does it matter if your reloading rounds that may go into multiple firearms If you are reloading for more than 1 rifle in the same caliber, You will need to keep the brass from one firearm sorted for another rifle of the same caliber. No 2 chambers are exactly the same measurements. If you don't wa...

Re: Neck size or full length.

I only neck size. I don't like the idea of working my precious brass any more than needed. At some time you will want to "bump" the shoulders when needed. About .002 is all thats needed. For this you can use an FL die with out the expander ball. Or you can get a regular "bump" die.

Re: Tell us about yourself...

First off, Welcome to the 204um. You will find that the people on this site are always willing to help with any problems or thoughts you may have about the 204. I shoot mostly the 32grn V-max, but I do shoot the 39grn SBK's when the wind kicks up or when I shoot targets beyond the 300yd distance. My...
