Title: Quick range report on the .204s
Post by: Arkyyoter on September 29, 2007, 03:30:09 PM
OK guys....not a lot of time....haven't taken much time as i didn't have it!! Too busy right now to do these guns justice, but will get to them as soon as I can. Mounted scopes on Jim's gun and mine....got 'em zeroed for the hunt Monday...I havne't worked with loads...played around with three different charge weights of H4895...yes my final weight is covered up with a package so it can't be seen as it is slightly over listed max...there are NO pressure signs in these two guns...the cases and in a nice little pile....I haven't quite got mine dialed in, but Jim's gun shot this group on the 9, 10, and 11th round down the tube...it is a 35 Berger at almost 3900 fps...

I was out of targets so please excuse my redneck bullseye :) Momma is headed to town to get me some...

Here is my rifle ready to chase a yote...'cept for my bipod and sling.

I am not one to hand out flowers, but I am very impressed with this little gun....very light weight...shoots well, and a very nice trigger. This will NOT be the last rifle Danny builds for me....

OK....updated with my gun.....it averages about 20 fps slower than Jim's gun...shot these 5 rounds in less than a minute....5ht round was called DANGIT!!! I threw it away...not the gun, ME!! AAARRRGGGHHHH. At any rate I got .492 for four rouds, .737 including the called flier...I thnk when I have more time, this one will shoot too!!!

Joe,

It does look like you have a winner.  I am sure you are pleased with the targets and I am betting that the groups will shrink.
