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...

Re: Decapping.and.FL sizing. 242cases

If those are used in a bolt action rifle then I would consider not full length sizing them. Once fire formed to a specific rifle they take the shape of your chamber and only need to be full length sized whenever the bolt becomes hard to close, to bump the shoulders back. If you have a neck sizing di...

Re: Quiet as a Mouse Around Here

Let me just say a few things here. Tarrin is the board Founder. 204Shooter, Brian, is his father and was the originator of this forum many years ago. He has the ultimate say in what becomes of the forum. He made me an Administrator a few years back. That gave me limited powers. Mostly I spend a lot ...

Quiet as a Mouse Around Here

I don't get it. It seemed like the forum was gaining momentum. Now, not so much. What do you think it would take to get the forum off and running again? Feel free to express your opinion. If you don't feel comfortable saying something in public, send a PM. I'd love to hear your what's on your mind.

Re: A new hope-

I bought one of these years ago on a whim. Turned out to get a lot more use than I ever expected. Made by RCBS, three way trim head. Trims case length, chamfers and de-burrs all in one operation.

Re: About those water jugs-

Less explosive is my thought. In the past some members have reported that the 35 Bergers are a more "fur friendly" way to take coyotes.

Re: About those water jugs-

I know where my money would be riding on this comparison if water filled one gallon jugs are the targets.

Hornady 32 gr Vmax - velocity 4225 Feet Per Second, polymer tip
Berger 35 gr FB - velocity ??? depends on reloading specifics, fully jacked hollow point

Re: Shooting the 1911-

You hardly ever see swords in Marine day to day duties. They are mostly used for formal ceremonies. I didn't learn sword drill until DI School on Parris Island. Swords were a commonly required for any type of parade or formal ceremony. Not every Marine needs one, but they are often required for Nonc...
