Dang modern technology. Midway is closed with no after hrs service. Guess it will just have to wait till 2 morrow.


If you want to get it done tonight you could make a new account with a new e-mail if you have a different one. If you don't have a different one you can easily make one at yahoo.com or live mail. Only takes a couple minutes. Everyone should have a couple emails so you can have one for good stuff and one to put in when you know they are going to send you a bunch of junk emails. lol

I finally figured out how to get into my E mail junk mail filter.... I released the mMidway e mail they sent to reset my pass word. Got into my account at Midway, got my 5 boxes coming. It was too easy. Way to easy to spend my hard earned cash ! Had to quick get off the Midway webb site …… before I ordered a new Nikon Pro Staff scope for my 204.. wink

Without a question, the 35 grain Berger bullet is their choice for both kill ability and saving fur.
Not sure if there is a factory round made with it?

Found these. I thought I had seen them before. If I was still in possession of my .204 I would certainly give these a try.

I have a 204 and I would trade it for a 223, because I don’t reload and there’s a lot more out there for factory 223 rounds, and they’re a boatload cheaper.

Hey Kev, how often you get an exit?


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Not positive, I think 2 out of three, mostly depends on where I put the bullet, straight through the lungs will probably exit, high shoulder shot probably not
40 gr Berger I had some bigger holes so I stuck with 35gr berger
