i tryed some of the dogtowns and found that 29.0 grns of varget worked decent in my gun and it shot just under.5 @100 and will try some col changes and see what happens. still cant beat the bk's but there good plinking bullets for sure.

anyone have a good starting load for the 34 grn hollow point bullets?
all help would be thanksfull.

its not that im unhappy with the results cause i am. no exit wound means i know where the bullet went and it does the job the groundhogs never move from there spot when they get hit other then a few have been slid backwards.
the 204 is rapidly becoming my go to gun over my 22-250

im shooting a 39 grn blitzking with 25.5 grns of benchmark
while shooting birds at 100 plus yards they were blowing them into pieces.
but shooting groundhogs from 30 to over 300 yards theres never an exit wound.
is this normal????
im looking for carnage

.3@100 all holes touching and this is in a new gun.

25.5 grns of benchmark @2.276 col with the 39 grn. bk has worked very well for me
