    204 Ruger

    As usual its been a busy weekend at the range, shot this one for the first time along with two others



    The customer is still waiting on a chassis so I put one of my suppressors, scope & stock on it to get it going



    It has an Origin action, 23" custom fluted Muller Works 1-8 Rem Varmint barrel



    Its fired a total of 40 rounds with three different powders & its pretty happy



    Quite frustrating with the book velocities for various powders being way different in the real world

    I am surprised the 32 gr v max did not explode in Flight with a 1 in 8” twist.
    I am just about to chamber a trueflite next week in the same caliber. I hope I can match that kind of accuracy .

    The customer wants super expoldy performance, its for shooting little things & the projectile needs to disappear if it touches anything, once it roughs up they may explode but the customer is willing to take that risk, cut barrels are awesome
