.204 loads
 

Just wanted to let people know how the .204 shot this weekend. Shot a 1/2 inch (actually a little less) group at 200 yds. I shoot a 39gr. Blitzking with Benchmark 25.1gr, CCI 450 primers. O.A.L. 2.25. Remington VLS. Anybody elsewho shoots the .204 let me knowI have plenty of load data and would like to know your results too.Looked around online alot and found a site, www.bulletdudes.com, that sells test packs so that you don't have to buy a whole box. I bought a box of the 32gr. Blitzkings and they shot terrible. (Nice looking paperweight though)

Great info. I havn't decided to load or not yet. I have 5 guns I need to finish up the loads on, and the 204 is shooting great with hornady 32gr so I figure I would wait until you or others had a chance to find some loads. Good info.

Bigcountry, I have shot test loads with the 32&40gr v-max, 32&39gr blitzing and 40 nosler BT. Benchmark has shot the best inall 3 manufactures,but RL10x RL15IMR4895 XMR2015 also shot vey well.I also play around with OALfrom 2.25 to2.359.

How did the 32gr V-max do? Out of factory the 40gr was horrible.

32gr vmax with 24.9 or 26.0 of RL10x both shot 3/4 groups at 100yds
