Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Australia Howa 204R and ACP projectiles

Well I finally got my Howa 204R.
Fitted it up with a Swarvo Z3 4-12x50 with a BT.



Loaded up with 28.5 grains of 2206H, BR-4 primer, 32 grain ACP with a col of 58mm for 4000 fps.(Have since gone to 28.7 grains )



It will shoot better than it is at present of around 3/4" for 3 shots at 100 yards when I get the replacement trigger fitted.
The triggers are dead set [bleep] and on par with a Remmy Pump gun.

I fitted a left handed Boyds thumb hole stock and bedded it myself with this stuff.




Shot a couple of goats and cant believe these things exit a goat side on.

Entry.

Few more kills.




Got it all sorted now and shooting better.


Shot a sow this morning with it.
Nice exit.

Couple of Video's of the two goats.
One at 120 yards and one at 225 yards. Both chest shots.

Interesting. Thanks for the report.

Very interesting, thanks for posting. I met a guy in Idaho that had a connection at Barnes. He was able to talk them into making some .20 X bullets to use in his 20 Tactical. He liked that rifle for kids to use on deer hunts. IIRC none ever got away or needed more than one shot.

Interesting, thanks. I finally worked out that ACP stands for Aussie Custom Projectiles and found the Facebook page.

Thanks for the replies fella's.
A fun little cartridge for sure.
