Very nice.
Custom reloading tools (google them) has new 35 gr bullets that are quite sleek and have a smaller hollow point. Might give them a try.
Just got this put together for the wife, she wanted something different for pds, coyotes etc.

Good to know, thanks.
Got out to the range today, weather was crap. Wind blowing from 15-30mph and raining off and on. Figured I'd get on paper and do a little break in if nothing else. Took three rounds to get sighted in at 50, then moved out to 100, this was the first 5 shots at 100:

You can see where I pulled two shots, the other three went through one hole. Then my buddy took over and shot the next three:

Conditions being what they were, absolutely no load work up and shooting off a make-shift rest I'm very happy with the results so far.
Doesn't get any better than that !! Nice shooting !! ;D
Thanks- weather is supposed to be better this weekend, hope to try a few more loads.

H4198 seems to work a little better than H4895 and is noticeably cleaner.
Nice looking rifle.
My Tactical 20 also likes H4198 the best.

By my best effort this conservatively measures in at .076, having a hard time finding a load this rifle won't shoot.
You've got a winner there. I hope my 204 shoots as good when my barrel get here from Jim.

Don't you hate it when a gun shoots that good from the start?
What are you going to use for a reason to go to the range now?
Longer range- what else?
Going to try it at 200 today and see how it does.

Shoots in the .5s at 200.
