[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 1724500, member: 96251"] I’m on my second 204 ruger I’ve killed everything I’ve shot with it stone dead instantly. But I believe as previously mentioned CROWS are the best explosion and most fun to shoot with it . Mine likes the 40 gr Hornady bullets pretty well . Over a stiff charge of some win 748. I have not run my newest one over the chronograph but my old 20 inch barrel I was getting 3675 FPS with my load . I’d say by adding 8 inches more of barrel and almost 1 1/2 grains more of powder in should be pushing 3900 pretty hard. As for the mention of the 17 Remington I’ve got a model 700 in one of those little zippers too . With it roughly every 20 shots you’d better be ready to clean the barrel. It does shoot pretty decent till bout round 17-18 then it goes to pot pretty quick [/QUOTE]
