I don't know if you seen me ever mention it in the CB forum but I like my .204 alot. It is flat and fast and is the sweet spot between the .17 and a .22 cal round. The .204 also is considered a "safer" round since it does not ricochet as much as the .22 cal rounds will. The best Hand load I have worked up is 39 bliztskings on 28 grain of 4895. was about 5/8 inch group I think. Have shot it much since I had to many forks in the fire, but am getting ready to start hand loads again for this spring. Things look alot better now since when I first bought it the only way you could get brass was to buy Hornady.Hornady and Sierra where the only bullet makers at that time also. Now they are all making them and brass is available. This spring should be fun.
