Barrel fouling .204
This is my first .204 Ruger. Eventually I will start to reload.
I just sighted the gun in at 200 yds and only used 6 rounds. The 7th round I shot from 300 yards to see where it printed.
Shooting Hornady Varmint Express, 32 grain VMax, the accuracy was well beyond my expectations. That .204 is a flat, accurate shooter.
When I returned home I ran a brush and patches through the bore. Did those patches ever come out black. WOW ! ! !. I accuracy (well under red line) reload my .243 & .270 and I can go as high as 12 to 15 rounds before I see patches like the .204 was coughing up.
With 7 rounds the accuracy was great, but with that bore being really crapped up, the bullets just have to start walking at some point.
Any thoughts on my experience and the factory .204 ammo.
fossilDo the eyes go first ?????? MAYBE NOT !
