Has anyone tried using LT32 in their Ruger .204 yet? I especially would like info on its use with Berger 40 and 32 g bullets.

Thanks,

Ed

Thanks, for that input. I will have to try the Berger 35g. I see that Berger also makes a 40g, any experience with them. If so, will they stablize in most 1-12 (my Rem's) unike the Hornadys.

What distance are you planning to shoot ? I know laurie holland in the UK done well in 100 yard competition with his 204 with the 40 grain bergers.

First off I want to thank all of you that replied to my post. My question is why hasn't Hornady redesigned the 40 g so that it work in more of the 1-12 twist rifles out there. What I also find crazy is the fact that Remington sells a 40 g Accu-Tip (basically the Hornady 40 g load) and their own rifl...

I have a question concerning Hornady’s 40 g V-Max. I own a Rem 700 VLS and a Rem XR-100 both in .204 Ruger with 1-12 twist, and a friend of mine has a Savage Model 12 also with a 1-12 twist. None of these three rifles will shoot the Hornady 40g V-Max. The 32 g shoot fine and handloads with Sierra 39...
