just breakin her in today.first group was .735,2nd was .690 and after the 10th cleaning I fired 2 foulers and this group.

mr.big-- That is impressive for those only being shots 22, 23, and 24!!!! I may have to look into purchasing a VSSF-II in .204 Ruger as a backup to my Savage 12VLP in .204 Ruger

This is what some of us have been waiting for, someone to post their group sizes with the .204 Ruger. I feel many of us are potential purchasers of this caliber but want to see how accurate it is. Thanks for posting your groups. Best wishes.

Mr. B, Silverfox here and GHD (groundhog devistation) are the two that I was referring to get reloading advise for this caliber on another site. They both have extensive trigger time with this round and are very helpful to others. Groups in the .2"s with factory fodder will be hard to beat though.....you know?

MrB, Very nice groups, you should be proud. I posted on your other thread my results with IMR4198 and the 32gr v-max bullets....super results for the conditions. You might start working on GHD's recommendation of AA2230 in the 204, I started with 26gr and was pretty happy with the results, work up slowly. Damn I like this round!

Doc the way I figure if the 39 Sierras are 15$ a 100 and the powder is 18 a pound and the primers are 2.50 a hundred I can load 300 for less than 75$

thats 5$ a box,the factory stuff where I live is about 15$.

I may not hardly get the speed but I gaurantee I will get better more consistant accuracy.tilt the can just right and I might even get the speeds.

SF,surely you jest.I will refrain from making this a Rem VRS Savage thread....

mr.big-- Sweet looking rifle. I like the whole setup. And, YES, I was just jerkin' you around a little bit with my comment about purchasing a Remington VSSF-II in .204 Ruger as a backup to my Savage
