Came Home With a Handi
« on: September 26, 2009, 10:37:49 AM »
Came home from the gunshow today with a used Handi in 204 Ruger looks to be taken care of.
Anyway what can i expect shooting wise? I got a box and half of factory ammo.I just got rid of a Contender 23" that would do 1\3 to 1|2" consistly at 100 yds with handloads.Where should I start reloading for this one?Any info would be appreciated. Got a 100.00 the way I traded.Not bad

Congrats! 40gr Vmax and max loads of BL-C2 using Hodgdon data work for me.  ;)

Mine likes 32grn at a little less than max loads.  Mine is an Ultra Varmint which I guess isn't really considered a handi.
