Is that imr 4350 temp sensitive?

Remington 204 factory barrels are 1:9 twist. How close are they really to the 1:9 twist? If i rechambered a factory barrel, do yuo think itll work with the 55 gr bergers?

Aren't Remington barrels twisted 1:12? Some of them seem to struggle stabilizing 40gr V-Max's.

 

[texote]

yea i looked it up to make sure after i posted that. Yea they are 12 twist, the 17 barrels are 1:9.

What are you using for your reloading set up? I was thinking of going through todd kindler to get all that stuff.

Or maybe order a set of custom dies, if thats possible.

Not KJC but I just use Redding 22/250 bushing dies with a couple of different size bushings to neck down the brass and use the 22/250 seat die to seat bullets I get very little runout this way

 

[texote]

Thanks Rich. Ya I'll have to look at that, because I don't wanna spend 200 for a set up

I use a redding type s die and make my own seater from a wilson blank.
I can make you one if you use an arbor press?

[texote]

Yes kyle id definitely be interested.

What bushings do you use, and i can use the same ones to size my cases? Doo you neck turn them as well?

 

[texote]

whats the recoil like, shooting the 55 gr bergers?

 

[kjcpoint]

My reamer has a .232 neck, they need to be turned.
The gun weighs 7 pounds and has very little recoil

Anyone know of anyone that has the 55s in stock?

Cant seem to find em anywhere

 

[texote]

I have a 20BR built with a Douglas barrel, 9 twist. I can shoot 55's but the 50s work best.

Douglas is top notch. Mine shoots waaaaay better than I can. I've shot a number of groups on good days for me in the .2's, usually its right around or just under .4

This is built on a lightweight gun for coyote hunting.

Did douglas also do your chambering?

Has anyone had douglas chamber a rifle for them? Howd it shoot?
