New to .204 Ruger

Post by mikebaby »

I'm a long time lurker on this forum. I've been searching this forum for a while as well as others, but cannot find a solid answer, so I apoligize if I missed it. I recently recieved my WOA .204 upper. 1-10 twist 24" barrel for my AR. This was specificly built to slay p-dogs in Wyoming, but most use will be punching paper at my local range (200 yard range)

My question to start with is what bullet weight is likely going to be the most accurate out of this rifle? I'm thinking 39-40gr from what I've read.

My 2nd question is I'm likley going to load my own after I find a suitable bullet to shoot. Does anyone have a similar barrel that has a good recipe for me to use as a baseline?

I appreciate any assistance you can give. And again I apoligize if the answer is out there and I missed it.

Thanks,
mikebaby

Try posting down a few subjects to the "AR" section...Might even find what you need there.

My son and I both have custom ar's 1:10 twist.
For punching paper and 100-200 yards have been using the 34 g Midsouth varmit nightmares
using reloader 10x or Vihtavuori N135. Am able to get groups covered by a dime. At $39.95 per 500 ya can't go wrong.
