204 Ruger Heavy loads ?
« on: February 18, 2011, 08:29:01 AM »
My ? for you guys that are shooting the heavy 39-40gr bullets are you using this or have you tried to shoot PD size animals @ 300yrds or are your loads just for working in the 100yrd range. The reason I ask is I never did get the heavy bullets to make itty bitty tiny holes but did get the 32 and 34 grainers to do that very well. Kurt

IIRC, Mitchell was making 400yd shots with his max 40gr Vmax loads at one of the PD shoots, that load shoots great in mine, but I haven't shot over 100yds.
