204 range day
« on: December 19, 2013, 04:43:47 PM »
Went to a friends to do some shooting for load development. This was the second trip w/ the new lilja 204. My results were so sub standard. It's has already had a good # of rounds down the pipe. For break in purposes and development. Started off w/ factory hornady 32gr v-max. Box says 4225 fps, not even close  :bash:. Magnetospeed read 3500 and change. Could barely cover groups w/  a xlg pizza pan. lol It was bad. So I switched to my hornady hand loads. Better but anything was better than where it was at. Speeds just were'nt there.  From my data I should be pushing 38 -3900 fps w/ cfe 223 not even close. Useing the hodgdon web site. Today I got my hands on a 9th addition hornady manual. I'm almost one full grain low with their data  :yike:. So many what the hells have been answerd today you wouldn't beleive it. Now I'm excited to start with a fresh slate and see where this takes me. Believe me I'm not kidding when I said pizza pan  :chuckle:  ;) ;)

I would be going over the Magnetospeed. I shoot the factory 32gr Hornady through a 26" AR White Oak upper and it's right there as advertised velocity wise. Something doesn't add up. :(

chrony works great for other rifles. Really don't think that's an issue. Though the lilja 17 inch barrel is a little on the short side. So I new I would lose sum fps with that barrel length just not that much.

I would think you could kill coyotes with just that out to about 75 yards or so  :chuckle: :chuckle:

The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

A coyote from a few years ago. Lone Eagle pistol with hot 40 grainers. Caliber 22-250, barrel length 13". Hit at a little over 300 yards. Yet i could still smell a hint of singed fur...?
