Did some 204 ammo comparison today. Hornady Superformance 24gr NTX copper, Fiocchi w 32gr Hornady Vmax and Hornady Superfirmance 40gr Vmax.
Originally "wanted" 24gr because of crazy velocity but they're $$ and hard to come by out here. Got Fiocchi, then some Hornady 40gr. 40gr is said to be finicky in a 1:12 twist as that's kinda heavy for caliber, but mine seemed to like them the best.

40gr (not shooting for group, checking for stability/keyholing, and getting barrel warm to even out next round)



Then a few quick groups:

Pretty decent day today. Went to a Hot Wheels show in the morning, then figured since it was so warm out for February here, I'd see if anything was moving at the Prairie dog field. I saw 5, shot 3. The 2 survivors were as I drove in and didn't have rifle unpacked. It's a heck of a road getting there, thankfully it was mostly dry.
First outing with the 204 Ruger didn't disappoint.

Then got home and checked zero on the 12.5 Rosco. I guess I forgot I had already zeroed it, but it was spot on, so nice to get a few rounds out of it anyways.

Had some brass to fire form and thought I'd stretch my shortys legs some this weekend

Working up some data on my 300 WSM using H4350 and the Absolute Hammer 151 this morning. Not much data so did a slow work up. Never found pressure at all. Will keep working up.

Found a six pack of beer that has been in the shop for over a year figured I would bust them at 200 yards that’s the farthest I can shoot here
