good night out

[rifleshooter 0]

this is one of our better night's lamping .These were shot in the north east ,even though it's quite a long way to drive it's well worth it they were shot using my remi 700 in223 and my mates cz in222 i shot one farm and my mate would shoot the next this is what we done on most of the permision we have .We should have had more but we missed shot's that should not have missed ,but you can't get them all

the rifle is a remi 700 vssf the scope is a deben night tec 6*24* 56 with 30 mil tube & illuminated mill dot retical ,although this rifle is a heavy rifle the accuracy i v-good ,the moderator is a t-8 i now use 55gr v-max heads,lapua brass ,25.5 gr benchmark powder cci bench rest primer's it took about a month using a chrono ,working from 24gr powder in .5 incraments eventualy finishing with what i have now .This load produces an average velocity of 3259 fps ,with an average deviation of 15.5 fps and 1297 ft-lb where as my original powder (h4895) 3110 fps average,22.8 average deviation and 1181 ft-lb this rifle /load has taken fox's at fair long range's

on the road to otterburn we get regular bag's of 3 plus over there ,some night's we see very few fox's one night we must have seen near on 20 but quite a few are lamp shy so quite long range shot's are called for , our best night to date is eight in the north west of scotland

Thats real nice buddy hydrographics for the dipped stock? My pet 223 load is a 55 grain v-max, with 24 grains of vhit 133, std small rifle primer, dont know the speed, but it will shoot 5 into half an inch all day.I shoot this out of a 700bdl, thats been restocked and pillar and glass bedded.Not all will shoot 133 as it can be too hot [my mate has the same gun, and its too hot for his]failing that, 135 is the way to go, but i must admit, i think h4895 is one of the best, i use it for my .204.

heard good reports on the 204 are they as good as they say

[Guest baldie]

It blows the 223 into the weeds mate, its a lot faster and flatter, the ultimate lamp gun, if you can positively id the fox, it will kill it, its got 22-250 performance with less noise, drop, or wind drift. if i could only have one gun, it would be the .204.

Hello & weldone nice pic's & nice rifle iv a remmy 700ADL 22.250 & shoot 55g V-MAX & VIT N140 37.1g it's great plan to costom in future stock & trigger.My fox season's been the worst for year's but hope this year's better.

ive heard the 204 is a bit of a barrel burner

[Guest baldie]

No mate, i have a mate in the states that has 3000 rounds down one, and its still as accurate, and he,s put allsorts through it. Its only like a stiff 223 charge, the parent case is the old 222 magnum, and to be honest, its unlikely anyone shooting fox or even crows in this country would wear one out quickly?

do you have any more info ,are head's easy to get ,what sort of result's do you get such as velocity ,energy etc as i was toying on the idea myself in this calibre ,what sort of price can you get these rifles for baldie

[Guest baldie]

Factory ammo is no problem for the 20, heads are plentiful too, hornady 32 and 40 grain, berger 30, 35 and 40, also the sierra blitzking in 32 and 39 grain, and i believe that nosler have just brought out a bullet .Brass is still the sticking point, though i think we have a couple of hundred cases left. Hornady, remington, and winchester all make brass now, so it shouldnt be a problem.All the major manufacturers make a 204 now, i have a ruger VT, remmy make the vssf, cz do one, browning do the a bolt, sako do one, savage, the list goes on.With a 32 grain head, dependant on powder etc, you can expect 4000 fps, up to 4200, 39/40 grainers go at around 3700-3800.great cartridge, you wouldnt regret it.You would have to decide on a gun, and ring the shop for a price, i only work there its not my buisness.
