Rick:
Good to see you have your Ruger MKII on the ready for a back-up incase those pasture parasites decide to attack in mass, especially since you only have 2 rounds left there on the bench.
Larry

PS: Schweeeet lookin rig.

Default 17 Mach IV

Ha! Thanks Larry. That was a good shoot over those four days. I used my M4 alongside my Sako M75V in 204. A shot below of both rifles that shows the little M4 a bit better.



Here's the little sweetie overlooking her domain; the rat-infested alfalfa patch we shot.



Actually that Ruger 5.5" bull barrel is my old MK-I that I had drilled & tapped for a Leupold LG-1 Red Dot sight. Excellent as a "IPDW", or Internal Perimiter Defense Weapon for those sneaky little rodents that get in past "the wire". Excellent on rats out to the 50 yard mark with Power Points.



Good to have both handy, as the rats seem to always show up at 25 yards when you've got a cleaning rod stuffed in your rifle barrel.

Default 17 M4 Load Data

First I'd like to thank Larry for sending me the spreadsheet!

If you want the spreadsheet you can grab it here --> 17 Mach IV Load Data

If you would rather just view it as a web page --> Here it is! (rifle data removed)

From: gdragon "Anyone using IMR 4198? I have 2 pounds lying around so that's where I'll start. H4198 looks like it might be the best choice to me though."

Hello gdragon,

Looking at the newest Hodgdon reloading manual H4198 has some great prospects in the .17 fireball. Lower pressure but still nice velocity.

Rick in Oregon,

Man, you keep a neat shooting bench! I'd be ashamed to post a pic of mine, in the middle of an alfalfa patch battle.

Well, maybe not ashamed but, I do have some clutter.
