Title: .204 strikes again!!
Post by: wastickslinger on January 24, 2009, 02:44:34 PM: The new VTR is treating me well. Switched to the 40 grain. Nothing got away this time with a bullet in him. Another good size one too, 34 lbs. He was 402 yards, gave him 12" and few to the right for wind. So far I'm pretty impressed with the new set up.

12 kills that I have actually found. Cripled a few more and knocked down and lost a few.

The set up was purchased at cabelas. Gun was on sale for $679.00, rings $70, scope on sale for $329.00. After tax I was almost $1200. Very pleased!!!

Post by: jjhunter on January 26, 2009, 02:58:43 PM: Good shootin! It is hard to beat the .204 with the 40 grain V-max. I knocked a few down this weekend with the same combo - great minds think alike :)

I'm always happy to role a yoter or two. But its other missed opportunities that make me scower. I have a new nemesis I cant conquer. :hunt2:

ge has had 2 good chances and u have had more than 1 so i wont put them so close no more, now they wil b around the 300 yard mark now

Maybe I would have better luck shooting at them farther out. :chuckle:

Post by: 509er on January 26, 2009, 08:58:19 PM: Remember that is Ducks 300, that means if he is shooting 300 yards is really 75 yards. If someone else is shooting, 300 yards is really 450 yards. :chuckle:
