    I am trying lots of 204Ruger projectiles.
    I have;
    a) 40gr Hornady
    b) 32gr Hornady
    c) 32gr Nosler, enough of each for a decent trial!

    I am after 39gr Sierra in 204 or any other 204 projectile not listed in my post!
    Thanks

    I have some Barnes 26g Varmit grenades if you're interested.

    Have you tried these 26g pills? Compared to 32 or 40g are they just as lethal on medium size game, ie goats etc? Which ones of my collection would you like to try?

    Yeah I went halfs in a pack with another guy (tried to get a few 39g sierras off him for you but he wasn't keen on parting with them) he didn't like them so gave me the rest back, just been using them up on short range out to about 300 yards on rabbits, hares & possums makes big holes but nowhere near what the Barnes web page says, wouldn't use them on goats. Have already tried all of your collection run the hornady 40g most of the time. How many do you want? PM me your address & I will send you a few to try.
