    HA that was more of a personal sercurity thing, but yes loving it!

    Most accurate rifle I've owned, first lot of load testing best group was around .25", 50 gr z max over exterminator. That was top powder weight I had loaded, gave 3350 fps. Not had a chance to do anything since but apparently it will push the 50's to 3600, will get around to stoking it up at some point but that load absolutely hammers foxes so I am in no rush, still playing with the 25-45 deer loads at the moment.
    Thanks for looking

    Awesome. Sounds like a beast! Foxes didn't argue with my 223 using 53gr V-Max, either. Been gathering dust though, since I bought the 204. Not sure I want to sell it. May PX for a 6.5 at some stage.
