Same gun, switched to 39gr. bullets last weekend..(5 shots/100yds). It shoots well with 32's,just leaves a lot of copper at peel-out time..

Re: redding comp dies

Super easy... I use the .224 on everything (Rem,Win and Nosler brass). I prefer a little more tension (loaded rounds average .226+) with bullets seated off the lands...

Re: Remington 700 LVSF .204

A new barrel may be prone to copper fouling. Both of my 204's (Savage 10 predator hunter max-1,Ruger 77) were. I use Barnes CR-10 copper remover.
I have also found bullet seating to be a huge issue. I keep mine at about 2.30". For me, couple thousanths off the lands was too inconsistant.
