Best moderator for a .204 Ruger

[Richards8248]

My mates getting a 204 because he's come to realise that's what the cool dudes use. Yep, I've got one. He's been told to use a 6mm moderator by the shop he's buying the rifle off, I aren't going to name them. I'm insisting he's best with a 20 cal.....please help me convince him. He's a member on here but too shy to ask as it's for his Blaser.... please don't judge him

20 calibre is what he needs . Why would he want anything bigger

 

[bluesako]

your right tell him get a 20 cal one if he,s getting a 243 get a 6mm dpt mods are great atb mr blaser man listen to you mate

I use a Utra Jet Z Compact .22 cal with my .17 Remington. Works just fine. Not sure why someone would be recommencing a 6mm, it would certainly be ok to use but just not ideal.

Wildcat evolution .20 cal

I use a roedale .22 cal on my 204. Works pretty well.

 

[Richards8248]

Wildcat evolution .20 cal

That's what I've got

 

[Richards8248]

He knows I'm right, I keep reminding him I was only wrong once.....and that's when I thought I'd made a mistake

I use this on my .204 and .223, heavy, but bulletproof. I’d go for this over any lightweight moderator.

Wildcat evo in .22 swaps between my .204 and .222, works a treat I guess the shop has a shelf full of 6mm mods?

 

[woodlandvenison1]

Tbh I found they are all good just make sure it’s 20cal

4 x .20 cal baffles and a .22cal stainless first baffle DPT on my .20Prac..... (They didn't make a .20cal s'less when I bought it). Just looked and there's no sign of cutting on any with just a couple of insignificant 'salt' crystals on the alloy baffles, I gave up taking it apart to check if there was any flame cutting yonks ago.

I bought an extra alloy baffle at the same time so if there was any flame-cutting or I needed it to be quieter, I already had one in stock so to speak.

I was using Viht N133 and was getting all sorts of problems with that.... struggled to get over the 'magic' 3600fps better BalCoef of .287 for the 39gn Sierra Blitz Kings, pressure signs on the primers, moisture in the barrel leading to verdigris on the next bullet and it chewed it's way through the stainless baffles on the previous mod. Hated it.

Then I switched to RL10X and life is suddenly a lot easier.... less pressure, and easily got to c3700fpsand, as above, no damage to the baffles.


Cheers

Fizz.

I'm also using a dpt overbarrel with a stainless baffle.
Very light and compact with no signs of any wear to the baffles so far.

Yet another vote for Wildcat Evo here. When I bought mine the shop apologised profusely that they had no .20 'guts' for it and fitted a .22. I have no complaints to make about it.

Does his Blaser have a spigotted M15 x 1 muzzle, if so we probably have one of ours ready to go.
